Project
Healthy Families: Right from the Start with Henry (Health Exercise Nutrition for the Really Young)
Funding
£2,000 annual licence fee for a council to run the programme. Initial training for practitioners costs £5,195 for 16 participants and is followed by a two-day course in facilitating the programme, costing £5,360 for 12 practitioners. Parent resource packs cost £20 each.
Background
Nearly one in four - 22.5 per cent - of children are overweight or obese when they start primary school, according to the Health and Social Care Information Centre.
In 2007, Mary Rudolf, professor in child health at the University of Leeds, teamed up with parenting and behaviour change expert Candida Hunt to develop a programme to tackle this issue, with funding from the Department of Health (DH) and the then Department for Children, Schools and Families.
