Healthy Place Healthy Future: Pennine Lancashire Childhood Obesity Trailblazer Programme Management

Healthy Place Healthy Future - Pennine Lancashire Childhood Obesity Trailblazer Programme Management Councils have a vital role to play to tackle childhood obesity but there can be significant obstacles. To address this, Government committed to a three-year trailblazer programme to work with council-led projects in England to tackle childhood obesity at a local level, with a particular focus on inequalities. The Childhood Obesity Trailblazer Programme (COTP) seeks innovative action to tackle childhood obesity at local level. The programme is funded by the Department of Health and Social Care and managed by the Local Government Association. It is intended to test the limits of existing powers and developing solutions to local obstacles aiming to enable ambitious local action and to achieve change at scale.
