4: POLICY CONTEXT National Policy Context National Care Standards (2005) The Regulation of Care (Scotland) Act 2001 was introduced to ensure a greater standard of care provision and requires certain care services to be regulated. Those providing care services to children are regulated by the Care Commission against a set of National Care Standards. These set out the quality of care that care services should provide. Standard 3 of the National Care Standards: early education and childcare up to the age of 16 stipulates the standard an early education or childcare setting should provide in terms of a child’s health and wellbeing. Let’s Make Scotland More Active – A Strategy for Physical Activity (2003) Let’s Make Scotland More Active sets out a variety of actions to encourage and enable children and adults to take part in regular physical activity. An Action Plan for Improving Oral Health & Modernising NHS Dental Services in Scotland (2005) The Dental Action Plan saw the beginning of Childsmile, a national programme designed to improve the oral and general health of children in Scotland and to reduce inequalities, both in dental health and access to dental services. It is funded by the Scottish Government and has four main elements: • Childsmile Core programme – available across Scotland. • Childsmile Practice.* • Childsmile Nursery.* • Childsmile School.* * To be rolled out across Scotland 2008–11 Nutritional Guidance for Early Years (2006) Nutritional Guidance for Early Years: food choices for children aged 1-5 years in early education and childcare settings is a national guidance document which supports the implementation of National Care Standard 3. The guidance sets out nutrient standards for lunchtime food provision, as well as providing information on healthy snacks and drinks for children in early years establishments and childcare settings. Schools (Health Promotion & Nutrition) (Scotland) Act 2007 The Schools (Health Promotion & Nutrition) (Scotland) Act places a duty on local authorities to ensure that all schools, including nursery establishments, are health promoting. Local authorities had to implement this duty by January 2008. 6 Policy Context Nutrition & Oral Health
Curriculum for Excellence (2009) Curriculum for Excellence provides a framework for learning and teaching which promotes successful learners, confident individuals, responsible citizens and effective contributors. It takes a holistic approach to health and wellbeing, which includes experiences and outcomes for children around food and nutrition. Local Policy and Activity NHS Lanarkshire Breastfeeding Policy The overall aim of the Breastfeeding Policy is to ensure that all mothers have the right information to make a fully informed choice as to how they feed and care for their babies, and to enable health care staff to create an environment where more women choose to breastfeed and are supported to breastfeed exclusively for the first six months and then as part of the baby’s diet beyond the first year. The policy will support breastfeeding in all public areas of NHS Lanarkshire and partner premises. Lanarkshire Health Promoting Nursery Award Scheme A Health Promoting Nursery is one in which all members of the nursery community work together to provide children with integrated positive experiences within the nursery structure that promote and protect their health. Lanarkshire’s Health Promoting Nursery Award Scheme has been developed to support co-ordinated and sustainable health promotion activity in nurseries. It encourages a partnership approach to health promotion and aims to improve the health of children, parents, staff and the wider nursery community. Lanarkshire Children’s Healthy Weight Strategy This strategy has been developed to address the increasing levels of childhood obesity in Lanarkshire. The strategy targets children from birth to eleven years of age and aims to reduce the high prevalence of obesity in children. The focus of activity is in four key areas: antenatal/postnatal, early years, schoolaged children, and community treatment programmes. North Lanarkshire Council Diet and Nutrition Policy North Lanarkshire Council has developed a Diet and Nutrition Policy spanning 2008–2012. The Policy has been developed with the whole North Lanarkshire population in mind; however, specific commitments have been made in the following areas: breastfeeding mothers, children and young people, older adults, individuals requiring special diets, communities, individuals and families who are temporarily accommodated. The Policy also commits to improving food provision for employees, as well as raising awareness of and promoting healthy eating to staff and customers.
