Great to see the Breastfeeding Welcome Scheme extended by @healthimprovegg into cafe's restaurants and community settings, aiming to help create more places and spaces that support #health and #healthydevelopment

There still remains work to do, with some areas proving harder to change: 60% of boxes contain sweet snacks and only 22% include wholegrain. These findings will help us focus our support going forwards. Thank you @katehynes6 @SEYTGuernsey and the 🇬🇬early years sector 5/5

Check out this film 👇. Impactful work from our Eat Well Team led by @AKosmas with Caroline Hoar, Cat Tyrrell & Ellie Gould. With prevention at the core of @healthimprovegg , early life nutrition was one of the first areas that we prioritised and continue to progress. 1/5

[The Health Improvement Commission for Gsy and Ald @healthimprovegg]

Over the past 5 yrs, our collaborative efforts with early years settings and the States EY team have transformed children's nutrition and health. The Eat Well policy has brought huge improvements. For more info and to watch our short film please click https://t.co/25sqU8n3Gf

[Simon Sebire @Simon_Sebire]

Shows that change is possible when sound nutrition policy and accountability is in place, championed by leaders, and implemented with highly practical & consistent evidence-based support using whole-setting approaches. Enhanced by engaging the sector, parents and children. 4/5

@georgina_wort @MaxJWestern @AngelaCarlin7 Wonderful news Georgina, congratulations!!! Very much enjoyed being part of your PhD supervision team - thank you for including me! Hope you have a chance to relax and celebrate now! 👍🎉🎉👏👏

We are delighted to see that as from today, November 1st 2024 it is illegal to smoke in a private vehicle where children or young people under the age of 18 are present. https://t.co/4td9l0SIW3

[Simon Sebire @Simon_Sebire]

The 2022 Young People's Survey showed that 6% of children in yr 6 and 9% of children in yrs 8 and 10 had travelled in cars with people smoking. The ban on smoking in vehicles carrying children is very good news for child health. https://t.co/T0scY92CpJ

Big collaboration with @GuernseyCF @SIFGsy @GsyPublicHealth and many community organisations. Thanks to all involved.

"Our genes have not profoundly changed in a century, but the world we live in has made it easier to pile on the pounds with the rise of cheap & calorie-dense foods, ballooning portion sizes & towns & cities that make it easier to drive than walk or cycle"
