Scottish Perspective on NICE Public Health Guidance 17: Children & Young People and Physical Activity
NHS Health Scotland commentary on NICE Guidance 17: Promoting physical activity, active play and sport for pre-school and school-age children and young people. in family, pre-school, school and community settings
NICE (the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence) produces public health guidance for England, aimed at promoting good health and preventing ill-health. The guidance is informed by available evidence on the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of programmes or interventions, using a highly developed and rigorous process. Account is also taken of stakeholders’ views and fieldwork. NHS Health Scotland produces ‘Scottish Perspectives’ on such guidance to enable the action recommendations, adapted or amended if considered appropriate, to be used to support the development and implementation of policy and practice in Scotland. Details of, and electronic links to, relevant Scottish policies, strategies and action plans are provided. The Scottish Perspectives do not constitute formal guidance.
This is the Scottish Perspective on NICE public health guidance 17 (published in January 2009), which has 15 numbered action recommendations grouped under five main headings:
- National policy
- High level policy and strategy
- Local strategic planning
- Local organisations: planning, delivery and training
- Local practitioners: delivery
The NICE recommendations have been considered in a Scottish context and NHS Health Scotland has adopted them for Scotland with some small additions and other amendments.
It should be noted that, although schools are included in its title, the guidance and thus this Scottish Perspective does not cover the full range of relevant school-based activities.
