Abstract:

The Working Group that produced this Report is a sub-group of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on a Fit and Healthy Childhood. The Cross-Party Group for a Fit and Healthy Childhood (previously the All-Party Parliamentary Group on a Fit and Healthy Childhood) regularly produces wide-ranging reports which aim to assist policy-makers to reach decisions based on best evidence.

The purpose of this APPG is to promote evidence-based discussion and produce reports on all aspects of childhood health and wellbeing including obesity; to inform public policy decisions and public debate relating to childhood; and to enable communications between interested parties and relevant parliamentarians. Group details are recorded on the Parliamentary website at: https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm/cmallparty/150929/fit-and-healthy childhood.htm

The Working Group is chaired by Helen Clark, a member of the APPG secretariat. The Working Group members are volunteers from the APPG membership with an interest in this subject area. Those that have contributed to the work of the Working Group are listed on the second page of the report, albeit showing under the Authors section here.

The report is divided into themed subject chapters with recommendations that we hope will influence active Government policy.
