Description
Cambridgeshire County Council and Peterborough City Council require the provision of a National Child Measurement Programme. This is a competitive procurement under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) The NCMP is a national programme which involves the weighing and measuring of primary school children. It is a mandated Public Health function, which must be commissioned by the Local Authorities who have direct responsibility for it. School age children in Reception (aged four to five years) and Year 6 (aged ten to eleven years) have their height and weight measured routinely each academic year, and parents/carers are sent a feedback letter with the child's weight status (underweight, healthy weight, overweight or very overweight). In Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, there are an estimated 20,000 pupils to be screened each year, involving over 280 primary schools.
Total Quantity or Scope
School age children in Reception (aged four to five years) and Year 6 (aged ten to eleven years) have their height and weight measured routinely each academic year, and parents/carers are sent a feedback letter with the child's weight status (underweight, healthy weight, overweight or very overweight). The aim of the NCMP is to gather population-level data to increase understanding of weight issues in children, monitor changes, and inform future commissioning and childhood obesity strategies. Locally, the data also helps to identify the areas with the most need (often more deprived areas) and help target interventions to these schools/geographical locations.
