<p>While schools have been closed to some pupils the Government has taken steps to
support those who have had restricted opportunity to exercise while at home. As part
of its guidance on remote education provision the Government has published online
educational resources approved by subject experts for schools and parents to help
children to take part in PE and physical activity. In addition, Sport England have
free online content to help children and their families get active at home through
their Join the Movement campaign.</p><p> </p><p>The Change4Life website also includes
information on how to keep children active, including links to online resources and
providers, such as games and activities, as well as advice for accessible activities
for disabled children and is available at the following link:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.nhs.uk/change4life/activities"

is working to ensure that schools are fully supported as they welcome more children
back to school and schools are able to give pupils opportunities to be physically
active during the school day.</p><p> </p><p>Many of the measures in the three chapters
of the childhood obesity plan will have an impact on tackling obesity. These include
the soft drinks industry levy, sugar reduction and wider calorie reformulation programme,
restricting promotions and calorie labelling in restaurants which will improve children’s
eating habits and reduce the amount of sugar they consume.</p><p>We remain committed
to reviewing what more can be done and will continue to monitor progress and emerging
evidence.</p><p> </p>
