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

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
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 tinyurl.com/yykmf2cn
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
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
Congratulations Alex - very well deserved!
We are excited to announce that Alex Costen will be the Health Improvement Commission’s Be Active lead from February 2025 following the pending retirement of the current Be Active lead @Alun Williams. We are delighted that Alex will be taking on the Be Active lead.

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. guernseypress.com/news/2024/…
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. guernseypress.com/news/2024/…

"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"
