Exclusive new analysis published today by the Royal Society for Public Health shows that more than 90% of local authorities will see the percentage of children leaving primary overweight or obese increase over the next decade.
The new report, Playground Rules, is calling for a ‘whole school’ approach to physical activity to get children moving. It warns that without action taken now, as many as 41% of children aged 10 and over could be overweight by 2035.
