Start healthy habits early
We commend Henry Dimblebyâs efforts to tackle the nationâs health crisis. However, we were sad to see that this strategy failed to deliver a clear provision for the early years. With one in five children entering school overweight, the recommendations need to focus more on prevention at the age when obesity is most likely to develop.
Itâs important that children are introduced to healthy food, especially fruit and vegetables, as early as possible, a critical time for them to start developing their tastes. We should be looking at ways to implement and track these processes so good habits are in place before the first day of school.

School union staff have settled a dispute with an Upper Clapton special needs school, following strike action in March.
The long-running dispute saw staff allege appalling conditions and poor education provision for students, among other issues, at privately run, for-profit Leaways School in Theydon Road, since December last year.
The National Education Union (NEU) settled the disagreement with Leaways School s parent company, Kedleston Group, issuing a joint statement published on May 17.
