General description

Source: Child Measurement Programme (CMP) for Wales produced by Public Health Wales Observatory, using CMP data (Digital Health and Care Wales).

The Child Measurement Programme for Wales is a surveillance programme set up in 2011. Public Health Wales deliver a national height and weight measuring programme for Wales, to give a better understanding about how children in Wales are growing. The programme standardises the way in which primary school children (aged 4 and 5) are measured across Wales.

Note that, in some local authorities, the numbers of children living in Flying Start areas may be relatively small and differences may not be statistically significant.
