Child Weight Management Programme

The London Borough of Brent are seeking to commission a service provider to deliver a Tier 2 Child Weight Management service for children and young people aged 5 to 18. The service will be a holistic healthy lifestyle programme for children and young people who live, attend school or have a GP in Brent. Once initial contact is made, participants should be triaged into the most appropriate programme to enable them to have access to a menu of weight management and healthier lifestyle services for a maximum of 12 weeks, including health education and physical activity. The programme will be aimed at the family as a whole but aims to support children and young people to reduce their weight.

Alongside the tailored weight management programme, the Provider should also make links into communities of interest and place to co-produce short term healthy lifestyle workshops for 4-8 weeks within a community setting/local asset. The aim of these sessions are to bring lifestyle messages and health promotion to the heart of communities, and allow them a chance to shape these workshops themselves so that the messaging and the decisions to live healthier lifestyles are sustainable.

The service will also be available to support wider health and wellbeing events and workshops with information on healthy eating run at the discretion of Brent Council.
