Introduction
The 3E (Enjoy, Exercise, Eat Well) service is an evidence-based weight management service which aims to provide high quality support to families with children aged between 2 and 5 years who have been identified as overweight for their age. Through fun games and practical advice, the 3E service aims to help families make healthy lifestyle changes.
Once referred, families can expect to receive the following:
• 6 x 1:1 sessions which will usually take place in their home or within their nearest priority town or city (see below for geographic areas)
• 5 x Discovery Fun Days where families choose which group family activities they would like to take part in. These groups aim to inspire healthy eating and increased physical activity.
• Information on the child’s height and weight and family eating patterns will help track progress and enable achievements to be recognised
• The referring organisation will receive feedback about the family’s progress and achievements
• Celebration events and regular follow up telephone contact will be maintained with the family for a year
