The Traffic Light Programme

Weight Concern successfully piloted a new obesity treatment programme for children, the Traffic Light Programme, in partnership with Great Ormond Street Hospital.

The programme used a psychological approach to encourage behaviour change and covered exercise, social support and healthy eating for the whole family.

This was followed up in a larger trial- the Children's Treatment trial, in which the Traffic Light programme was compared to routine care.
