Healthy weight in children (health and wellbeing needs in South Tyneside)

Unmet needs

  • Currently in South Tyneside we have no dedicated services to support children and their families who are overweight or obese. A recent Star workshop highlighted the fact that this was an issue with professionals who work with children. The stakeholders at the event felt that there needed to be a dedicated service to support overweight children and their families in South Tyneside
  • The evidence base of childhood obesity interventions is somewhat limited and is discussed further in section 8.
