“Last year the Growing Healthy Team visited primary schools to measure the Reception and Year 6 children as part of the National Child Measurement Programme. In addition to the National Child Measurement Programme, County Durham are currently part of the MapMe research project run by Newcastle University. 

We will be carrying out the follow up measurements on children in year 1 and 7 where consent has not been previously withdrawn.

If you now do not want your child’s height and weight to be checked please let us know, asap, by emailing 

cdda-tr.childhealthinformation@nhs.net with your child’s details.”
