Details
The National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP) school feedback letters can help local authorities share NCMP information and data with schools.
The cover letter template is intended to be edited to include details of any local primary care providers, and weight management and support services.
A bespoke school feedback letter that includes non-identifiable aggregated NCMP data is produced for each school participating in the NCMP. This letter presents school-level child overweight and obesity prevalence, participation rates, and comparisons against local authority and England levels.
To request an example school feedback letter, which is an illustrative presentation of those sent to schools by their local authority, email ncmp@dhsc.gov.uk.
The feedback letter metadata is intended for use by local authority public health teams - and explains the information contained within the bespoke NCMP school feedback letters.
Local authority results and trends are available on the public health profiles site.
How to request a bespoke school feedback letter
Bespoke school feedback letters are available for all schools participating in the National Child Measurement Programme in a given local authority from the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities.
If you are a local authority NCMP lead, NCMP provider or data analyst and would like access to this data for schools in your area, email ncmp@dhsc.gov.uk.
