1. Introduction
The obesity epidemic is a public health problem that experts have stated is
comparable with climate change, both in terms of scale and complexity1. There has
been a clear rise in obesity rates, which accelerated in the late 1980s and early
1990s and is a trend repeated almost universally in developed and increasingly
developing nations.2 It has been identified as one of the most important preventable
challenges to health, second only to smoking3 and is the fifth leading cause of death
globally.4
Almost two-thirds of adults and a third of children in England are either overweight or
obese (see appendix 1 for definitions of overweight and obese). Work by the
Government for Science’s Foresight5 programme suggests that, without clear action,
these figures will increase to almost nine out of ten adults and two-thirds of children
by 2050. The trend of increasing weight problems in children is of particular concern
because evidence suggests a ‘conveyor belt’ effect in which excess weight in
children continues into adulthood.6
Many aspects of life affect the amount and types of food eaten and the physical
activity taken. The rising levels of overweight and obesity are associated with
changes in7:
 Work and leisure time
 Town and transport planning
 Food production and marketing
 Lifestyle messages
 Inequalities
Three aspects of obesity combine to make it a public health problem: its impact on
health, its prevalence and its resistance to change.
Obesity also plays a role in widening health inequalities. As rates of adult and
childhood obesity have increased, so too have inequalities. There are higher rates of
obesity amongst individuals from poorer backgrounds, particularly for women and
girls. The contribution of obesity to a range of chronic health problems links it with the
broader health inequalities agenda, further strengthening the need for action.8
However, this situation can be reversed. It is possible for people to control their
weight, take control of their diet and take part in physical activity. This includes
encouraging the development of an environment to help healthier choices become
easier.
This strategy provides a public health framework, not just to support residents who
are overweight or obese, but to ensure healthy weight is achieved among adults and
children in Waltham Forest.

1.1 Our Vision
The vision of this strategy is to provide an environment that enables all Waltham
Forest residents to make healthy food choices, to stay physically active and to
maintain a healthy weight throughout their lives.
1.2 Our objectives
In order to deliver the vision the following objectives have been identified (see
section 1.3 below for how these were developed):
 To increase participation in active travel and physical activity by creating and
promoting socially and culturally appropriate safe physical environments.
 To increase healthy eating by increasing and promoting the availability of, and
access to healthy food choices and reducing the availability of and access to
foods that are high in fat, sugar and salt.
 To ensure that all health, social care and educational settings across the life
course encourage and support healthy eating, active travel and physical
activity, particularly early years to enable a healthy start for children.
 To create healthy workplaces that encourages and support healthy eating,
active travel and physical activity.
 To up-skill residents and health, social care and educational staff so that they
have access to consistent, evidence-based information and advice on healthy
eating, active travel and physical activity.
 To increase access to appropriate, evidence-based weight management
interventions across the life course targeting those at highest risk and
greatest health inequalities.
1.3 Our Approach
There is no ‘golden bullet’ for tackling obesity9. Therefore, the extent of the issue
demands that a population approach is taken at sufficient scale across the life course
that is, from birth to older age. To facilitate this, Waltham Forest has a multidisciplinary and multi-agency Healthy Weight Steering Group (see appendix 2 for
membership). Part of the development phase of this strategy involved mapping
services commissioned by the London Borough of Waltham Forest (LBWF), Waltham
Forest Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), North East London Foundation Trust
(NELFT), NHS England (NHSE) and the Community and Voluntary Sector (see
section 5). A large obesity stakeholders event was held in September 2014, this
further informed the first draft of the strategy which was presented to the Waltham
Forest Health and Wellbeing Board in November 2014. This version incorporates
comments and suggestions from the Board. Also during 2014, a bid was submitted
for Waltham Forest to become a London Flagship Food Borough10, whilst
unsuccessful, there was great partner involvement, and elements of the application
have been incorporated into this strategy.
In January 2015, a workshop with the Healthy Weight Steering Group members was
held to develop the actions (see section 6) required to meet the strategy objectives.
Appendix 3 contains the diagram that was used to think through and identify the
gaps and actions required in our current service provision across the life course and
BMJ (2006) Physical activity to prevent obesity in young children: cluster randomised controlled trial; 333:1041

in a variety of settings. From this diagram has been identified the following headings
under which local action is required:
Groups
 Pregnancy and early years (0-4 years)
 Childhood (5 -17 years) including schools
 Adulthood (18-59 years)
 Older people (60+ years)
Cross Cutting Themes
 Workplace
 Planning and Built Environment
 Other settings (public buildings, residential settings, Housing, Job centres and
Pharmacies)
 Weight Management services
 Training
 Communication
 Data and Evaluation
 General
The Healthy Weight Steering Group agreed that the objectives will be achieved
through:
 Working in partnership with policymakers, local communities, service
providers and business to deliver healthy weight initiatives to those most in
need in the most appropriate way
 Working across all settings where our residents are located e.g. hospitals,
schools, children centres, workplace
 Moving away from short-term to long-term sustainable solutions
 Making health everyone’s business through training of all frontline staff to
provide prevention advice and referrals and ensuring that all local authority
policies and regulations are healthy weight friendly
 Working at multiple levels - Individuals, Families, Communities, Organisations
and Environments, using the three Es – environment, empowerment, and
encouragement11
 Ensuring interventions are at sufficient scale to make an impact
 Using pilots to provide learning to roll out effective interventions to wider
groups
 Increasing access to weight management services, particularly targeting
those at highest risk and greatest health inequalities
 Ensuring that services commissioned are evidence based or meet best
practice guidelines.
 All programmes being evaluated; this will determine service cost
effectiveness and future development of service
2. Background: Strategic Context
2.1 National Strategic Context
The issue of overweight and obesity has been addressed in a number of significant
reports and Government White Papers. The policy issues raised have been
translated into national delivery plans, National Service Frameworks and toolkits, see
11 Royal College of Physicians (2004) Storing up problems, The medical case for a Slimmer Nation, Report Of A
Working Party: pp 28-30
7
appendix 4 for a full list. These documents are designed to help partners to develop
and support local action plans. The most recent document ‘Healthy Lives, healthy
people: a call to action on obesity in England’12 provides a partnership approach on
what can be done to tackle this problem. Waltham Forest’s Healthy Weight Strategy
has been developed in line with these national policies.
2.2 Waltham Forest Strategic Context
There are also a number of local policies and strategies across Waltham Forest that
are relevant to achieving a healthy weight. It is important that these policies and
strategies are all aligned and compliment the healthy weight agenda, they are:
• Health and Wellbeing Strategy
• Best start in Life Children & Young People strategy
• Waltham Forest Local Development Framework Core Strategy
• Waltham Forest Hot Food Takeaway Planning
• Joint Strategic Needs Assessment
• Waltham Forest Catering School Meal Strategy
• Convergence Framework and Action Plan 2011-15
• Active Travel workstream
• NHS Waltham Forest CCG Primary Care Strategy 2014/15-2019/20
• NHS Waltham Forest CCG Self Care Strategy
3. Obesity risk and the burden of disease
Individuals unduly affected by excess weight are also those who are likely to
experience wider health inequalities and therefore their need for health and social
care support is further compounded. Overweight and obesity have a substantial
human and financial cost by contributing to the onset of disease and premature
death.
3.1 Who is most at risk?
Some sectors of the population are at considerably higher risk of developing obesity,
with an associated increase in the incidence and prevalence of related comorbidities.
Specific groups at risk are:
 Children13 and adults experiencing increased socioeconomic deprivation, for
example 14% of women in social class I are obese compared with 28% in
social class V14
 Children from certain ethnic minority groups such as Bangladeshi, Black
Caribbean and Black African were found to be at a higher risk of obesity15.
 Looked after children are more likely to be overweight and obese compared
with their peers.16
 Certain points in life have also been found to be associated with weight gain:
pregnancy, menopause and smoking cessation.17

People who use mental health services, in particular those with a diagnosis of
schizophrenia or dipolar disorder, have been identified as being at increased
risk of greater levels of obesity and associated conditions, such as heart
disease and diabetes18
There is evidence to suggest that levels of obesity are higher in people with
learning disabilities19
Older people: Increasing age is associated with increasing prevalence in
obesity up to the age of 64 years, when a decline in the prevalence begins.
Young mothers (over 21 years) of white ethnicity are significantly less likely to initiate
breastfeeding than any other ethnic group.20 There is evidence that weaning earlier
than current recommendations leads to rapid weight gain in infancy which may in turn
increase the risk of child obesity.21 Early weaning has also been found to be
associated with increased weight and body fat at age 7 years.22 Exclusive
breastfeeding has been found to be associated with a modest reduction in childhood
obesity risk23
In addition to the groups at risk listed above, it is important to also consider the needs
of those groups for whom barriers to accessing services are known to exist,
including: people with mental health problems, people with a disability and people for
whom English is not their first language.
3.2 Health Burden
Overweight and obesity can lead to increasingly adverse effects on physical and
mental health and wellbeing. Excess weight is a major risk factor for diseases such
as type 2 diabetes, cancer and heart disease, deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary
embolism. There are also potential problems including reproductive and urological,
respiratory, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and gastrointestinal disease.24 Alongside
the serious ill-health, it can reduce people’s prospects in life, affecting individuals’
ability to obtain and keep work, their self-esteem and their underlying mental health.25
Preventing obesity will help maintain people’s health and quality of life. For people
who are overweight or obese achieving moderate weight reduction has significant
health benefits. Table 1 shows the benefits expected from a 10% weight loss in a
person initially weighing 100kg.

For older adults the benefits of not being obese include functional independence,
less risk of falls and fractures and protection from age related diseases.27
A recent Canadian survey found that among those who are morbidly obese (BMI
over 35), one in six have been diagnosed with depression or anxiety. More than half
report having low self-esteem and recognise that their weight problems have an
impact on many daily activities and on their relationships.28
A Health Impact of Physical Inactivity (HIPI) tool has been developed by Public
Health England. This tool estimates the number of cases of certain diseases that
could be prevented in each local authority if the population aged 40-79 were to
engage in recommended amounts of physical activity. For Waltham Forest the HIPI
estimated: 122 out of 671 deaths could be prevented if 100% of the resident
population were physically active.29 WHO also highlighted that there is a clear causal
relationship between the amount of physical activity people do and all-cause
mortality.30
3.3 Social Burden
People who are obese are more likely to suffer from prejudice and discrimination in
some situations for example employment, travel and healthcare. It is also linked to
poor academic success, social exclusion in schools and in some instances teasing
and bullying.
When obesity becomes severe, it can affect normal daily activities. A person with
severe obesity may find their ability to perform their chosen occupation so
compromised that they are deemed as disabled disability. This disability can have
resource implications for social care services including, housing adaptations, trained
carers and provision of suitable transport and facilities.31
3.4 Economic Burden
The cost to the State for treating obesity is great. Currently, around 5-6% of NHS
total budget is spent on the disease consequences of overweight and obesity32. An
analysis of the economic burden of a range of risk factors for chronic disease

estimated that overweight and obesity now costs the NHS £5.1bn per year33. The
local estimated annual cost to the NHS of diseases related to overweight and obesity
is £75.5 million.34
4. Overweight and Obesity rates
4.1 National Overweight and Obesity rates
In England, currently 24.7% of adults (aged 16 years and over) are obese, an
increase from 15% in 1993. A further 37% of adults are overweight. This means a
total of 62% of adults have excess weight in England.35
By 2050 obesity is predicted to affect 60% of adult men, 50% of adult women and
25% of children.36
The United Kingdom ranks as one of the most obese nations in Europe – and there
are few signs yet of a sustained decline.37
4.2 Waltham Forest Overweight and Obesity rates
4.2.1 Children
The height and weight of every school child (Reception and Year 6 classes) in
England is measured as part of the National Child Measurement Programme
(NCMP). Figure 1 shows the trend in prevalence of overweight and obesity in
reception year from 2006/07 to 2013/14 for Waltham Forest, London and England. In
2013/14 in Reception Year, 22.8% of children in Waltham Forest were overweight or
obese, compared to 23.1% in London and 22.5% in England.

In 2013/14 in Reception year in Waltham Forest, 11.3% of children were obese only,
compared to 10.0% in London and 9.5% in England.

Figure 2 shows the trend in prevalence of overweight and obesity in Year 6 from
2006/07 to 2013/14 for Waltham Forest, London and England. In 2013/14 in Year 6,
37.8% of children in Waltham Forest were overweight or obese, compared to 37.6%
in London and 33.5% in England.

In 2013/14 in Year 6 in Waltham Forest 23.4% of children were obese only,
compared to 22.4% in London and 19.5% in England.
4.2.2 Adults
Unlike the NCMP, there is no national measurement programme for adults. In
Waltham Forest, 54.6% of adults are overweight or obese, compared to 57.3% in
London and 63.8% in England38.

5. Where we are now: Current support provision
Weight management services are categorised in Tiers as defined according to the
terminology from the Department of Health:39
Tier 1: Universal Interventions: - Client group - everyone
Environmental & population-wide services and initiatives, e.g. community based
services
Tier 2: Lifestyle interventions: - Client group – overweight and obese
Multicomponent weight management service e.g. Exercise on referral, community
based dietetic services,
Tier 3: Specialist Services: - Client group - obese
Multi-disciplinary team providing behavioral therapy, psychological services, medical
support
Tier 4: Surgery: - Client group – morbidly obese
Bariatric surgery (adults only, not generally recommended for children or young
people. Bariatric surgery may be considered for young people only in exceptional
circumstances and if they have achieved, or nearly achieved physiological maturity)40
As described in section 1.3 a mapping exercise for both children and adults using
the tier model can be found in appendix 5. Further details of these support services
is detailed in appendix 6.
6. What more needs to be done: Gaps in support provision and the Waltham
Forest response
The following pages contain identified gaps and corresponding actions that should be
taken across the multiple agencies in Waltham Forest to meet both the gaps, and the
wider strategy’s objectives. They have been developed with a high level of input from
the Healthy Weight Steering group and comments from the Health and Wellbeing
Board. They incorporate what we know about those most at risk of overweight and
obesity, as outlined in section 3.1.

6.1 Pregnancy and early years (0-4 years)
Gaps
1. Lack of nutritional element in antenatal classes.
2. No support services for overweight and obese pregnant women .
3. Lack of joint working between Homerton Midwifery team and Whipps
Cross Midwifery team.
4. UNICEF Baby Friendly Accreditation scheme not implemented in the
community.
5. Few designated areas for breastfeeding women in the Borough.
6. No infant feeding team to support children with feeding difficulties in the
community.
7. Insufficient capacity within the dietetic service to address the needs of
pre-term babies requiring specialist feeding support.
8. Inadequate prevention activities into early years setting e.g. infant
feeding support and dietetic input into children centres/baby clinics and
nurseries.
9. No ‘Healthy Children’s Centres’ schemes like ‘Healthy Schools’
programme.
10. Lack of healthy food in both public and private nurseries.
11. Not enough physical activity and healthy eating activities for 0-4 years
children.
Actions
1. Ensure antenatal classes across the borough include a focus on healthy
eating, physical activity and breast feeding promotion.
2. Provide local support for pregnant women with a high BMI in line with other
London boroughs including a review of the booking-in information pack given
to pregnant women to ensure information is consistent, appropriate and
adequate.
3. Ensure Homerton and Whipps Cross Midwifery team have representation on
Waltham Forest Healthy Weight Steering Group in future.
4. Work with partners to work towards UNICEF Baby Friendly Accreditation
across Waltham Forest.
5. Re-launch the ‘Love Mums’ breastfeeding scheme with businesses in the
borough.
6. Develop peer to peer infant feeding training and support opportunity to
improve responsive support of families.
7. Work with local dietetic services to increase the support for pre-term babies
requiring specialist feeding support.
8. Ensure all practices nurses/midwives/nursery nurses/health visitors/Children’s
Centre staff have basic training around healthy eating and physical activity to
ensure all early year providers give consistent messages.
9. Work with Children’s Centres and Health Visitors to devise an early years
healthy accreditation scheme emphasising physical activity and healthy
eating modelled on the ‘Healthy Schools’ programme.
10. Work with local nurseries and Children’s Centres to improve their food
provision, including exploring the possibility of implementing weight
management programmes in Children’s Centres.
11. Ensure there is more focus in the community on outdoor play.
14
6.2 Childhood (5-17 years) including schools
Gaps
1. Inadequate provision to follow up children who have been identified
as being overweight or obese following the NCMP.
2. No weight management service for 5-7 years old.
3. Inadequate healthy weight work with schools including special
needs schools.
4. Inadequate assurance of the nature of food available in all schools
and colleges.
5. Not all children are able to swim 25 metres.
6. Schools generally do not have current school travel plans to
promote Active Travel.
Actions
1. To implement a referral mechanism to GPs for children who are overweight or
obese following NCMP including clear guidance and training around what
onward advice, monitoring and referrals GPs should make following NCMP
notification.
2. Work with schools and weight management providers to make available
venues in the community to conduct weight management programme for
children aged 5-7 who are classified as overweight or obese.
3. Implement Healthy Lifestyle Programmes in all schools that cover diet, food
groups, exercise, including:
a. Support and encourage schools to address healthy weight as a priority
for the Healthy School London Silver award.
b. Identify Personal Social Health and Economic (PSHE) education leads
in each school (including special needs school) and provide
support/training around nutrition/exercise and ensure they are linked
with name school nurse and other appropriate services.
4. Public Health, Community Dieticians, Head of Catering and Head teachers to

7. Monitoring, Evaluation and Governance
The Public Health Outcomes Framework (PHOF) provides a monitoring mechanism
regarding increasing healthy life expectancy and reducing differences overall
between communities.
Tackling obesity falls within Domain 2 and Domain 4 of the PHOF. Local Authorities
will need to report on these indicators.
Domain 2: Healthy Improvement: People are helped to live healthy lifestyles, make
healthy choices and reduce inequalities
Domain 4: Healthcare public health and preventing premature mortality: Reduced
numbers of people living with preventable ill health and people dying prematurely
while reducing the gap between communities
Work to tackle obesity is also in line with the Adult Social Care Outcomes
Framework
Domain 1: Enhancing quality of life for people with care and support needs.
The Healthy Weight Steering Group will monitor the implementation of this strategy,
led by Public Health using the proposed performance dashboard. This will be done at
the quarterly meetings and reports sent as appropriate to the Health and Wellbeing
Board who will have oversight of the strategy from a governance perspective.
8. Next steps
Much of the infrastructure is already in place to deliver the strategy. As soon as the
strategy has been through relevant decision-making forums in Waltham Forest, a full
action plan will be developed, with named individuals against actions, and costed by
the Healthy Weight Steering Group, ensuring that actions to be taken are evidence
based. This plan will have clear milestones to cover the life of the strategy. The
strategy implementation will be phased from Years 1 to 5.

Appendix 1
Definition of overweight and obese
What is healthy weight?
Healthy weight has been defined as having the body weight most appropriate for an
individual’s height, which produces the greatest health benefits. This complements
the widely accepted, yet rather vague definition of overweight and obesity as
abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that may be detrimental to health and
wellbeing.
Overweight and obesity are terms used to describe increasing degrees of excess
body fatness which can lead to increasingly adverse effects on health and wellbeing.
Both are commonly assessed by using Body Mass index (BMI) which is defined as
the person’s weight in kilograms divided by the square of their height in metres
(kg/m²).44 See table 1 for BMI definitions by category.

Public Health Responsibility Deal
The Public Health Responsibility Deal aims to tap into the potential for businesses and
other influential organisations to make a significant contribution to improving public health
by helping shape a healthy environment.
The Responsibility Deal involves organisations taking voluntary action in one or more of
the following areas to help people lead healthier lives:
 Alcohol
 Food
 Health at work
 Physical activity
The food pledges encourage organisations to agree to specific actions: calorie
information for food and non-alcoholic drink, removal of ingredients that contain artificial
transfats, reviewing portion sizes, education and information. The physical activity deal
focuses on encouraging and assisting people to become more physically active.
