Child Healthy Weight Programmes Development Guidance

17 April 2008

This publication is to support the delivery of HEAT Target (H3) and was published on 14 April 2008. The Scottish Government has set a new 'HEAT' target for NHS Scotland to help tackle the growing problem of childhood obesity. This sets a target for health boards to achieve agreed numbers of overweight and obese children between 5 and 15 years completing Scottish Government approved healthy weight intervention programmes by 2011.

Guidance to assist in the delivery of these intervention programmes has been developed by NHS Health Scotland supported by an expert reference group. The guidance can be downloaded on: www.scotland.gov.uk/Topics/Health/health/19133/healthyweight
