QU567 - Young People Developing Food System Assessment Tools COTP

The Childhood Obesity Trailblazer programme is a national project to encourage Local Authorities to focus their efforts on becoming healthy food places. It is a council-led project in England, coordinated and funded by Local Government Association to tackle childhood obesity at a local level, with a focus on inequalities.

The Childhood Obesity Trailblazer Programme aims to:

1. test the limits of existing powers through innovative and determined action to tackle childhood obesity.
2. share learning and best practice to encourage wider local action.
3. develop solutions to local obstacles and consider further actions government can take to enable ambitious local action and achieve change at scale.

The Council requires an organisation with experience / expertise of engaging with Birmingham youth (e.g. Consulting youth, running focus groups etc) to undertake a project to harness the youth voice in developing food system assessment tools. The organisation will also need experience of creating co-produced evidence-based food environment metrics and assessment tools.

The successful organisation will conduct the project following the below 6 stages:

1. STAGE 1: Focus groups with Young People (aged 13-18) (April)
2. STAGE 2: Thematic Working Groups with Young People (April-May)
3. STAGE 3: Creating Resources (May-June)
4. STAGE 4: Trailing Resources (June-July)
5. STAGE 5: Adapting Resources (June-July)
6. STAGE 6: Developing action plan (July)
