We will put forward our plans for action in this area as part of the childhood obesity strategy. We recognise that schools can help to address the problem of childhood obesity, through focusing on improving physical education (PE) for all children and teaching about food, nutrition and healthy eating.<\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><p>Since 2013, the government has provided over £300 million of ring-fenced funding to head teachers to improve PE and sport. We are investing a further £150 million this academic year for schools to improve the quality of PE and sport they offer. More than eight in ten schools have seen an increase in pupil engagement with PE during school time and in the number of children doing sports after school.<\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><p>PE is a compulsory subject at all four key stages in the national curriculum. The PE programme of study aims to ensure that all pupils are physically active for sustained periods of time and lead healthy, active lives. The national curriculum also sets the expectation that children will be taught about healthy eating and what constitutes a balanced diet.<\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><p>The government-funded Change4Life programme aims to inspire everyone to eat well, take more exercise and live longer. There are a number of campaigns which promote healthy eating and sports such as the 10 Minute Shake Up summer campaign and Change4Life sports clubs. These are extracurricular sports clubs in schools which are designed to increase physical activity levels in the least active children.<\/p>"}

The guidance helps to ensure that schools take action to support pupils and help parents feel confident that the right support will be put in place, typically through an individual health care plan. The guidance was drafted with support from Diabetes UK and other members of the Health Conditions in Schools Alliance, school leaders, teacher and support staff unions, Department of Health and young people and their parents.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>The guidance specifies that any member of school staff providing support to a pupil with medical needs must have received training. Staff need an understanding of the specific medical conditions they are being asked to deal with, their implications and preventative measures.<\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><p>Schools are also advised that policies in place to support pupils with medical conditions should set out arrangements for whole-school awareness training so that all staff are aware of the school\u2019s policy for supporting pupils with medical conditions and their role in its implementation. In this regard, Diabetes UK provides helpful information for schools on its website. As part of the primary science curriculum pupils should be taught how to recognise the impact of diet, exercise, drugs and lifestyle on the way their bodies function. Teachers can choose to include aspects of diabetes in any part of the curriculum they feel appropriate, such as personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) education.<\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><p>In addition to specific support for the medical needs of a pupil with diabetes, all schools should have at least one first aider. The number of first aid personnel will be based on local circumstances, considered as a part of a first aid needs assessment. A qualified first aider must complete a training course and hold a valid certificate. The department publishes health and safety advice for schools and signposts further information on first aid from the Health and Safety Executive.<\/p>"}
