#WeighingInSchools #PlayNotWeigh With @mollyjforbes @ bodyhappyorg.com, we've created a comprehensive info pack for parents & schools about the National Childhood Measurement Programme. Parents of kids in reception and year 6: Pls #beNCMPinformed! bit.ly/BeNCMPInformed

Here are our 8 main reasons for caring about the NCMP. Are there any reasons that you would add? Download the info pack from our website – and please share it with your networks! Created with @mollyjforbes #BeNCMPInformed #PlayNotWeigh #WeighinginSchools

If you want more info on the NCMP be sure you’ve downloaded the Information Pack we put together with @mollyjforbes from Body Happy Org via our bio above. #BeNCMPInformed #PlayNotWeigh #WeighingInSchools

One of our activists @Sharon_Haywood talked to @laurathomasphd recently for her outstanding essay “Here’s Why You Might Want to Pass on Getting Your Kid Weighed in School”, which you can read over on her substack laurathomas.substack.com

All of this! A short but super-useful thread ⬇️

Calling all parents of children in Reception and Year 6 📣 We have created an information pack, with @mollyjforbes and bodyhappy.org, to help you make an informed decision about opting your child out of the NCMP. Download the free pack here anybodyuk.org/play-not-weigh…

So disappointing 😞

Check out Mel's new body image workshop:

The most robust & recent scientific evidence concludes #BMI reports do NOT change children’s weight status & can decrease weight satisfaction (which extensive evidence shows can lead to disordered eating). jamanetwork.com/journals/jam… #PlayNotWeigh The #NCMP = irresponsible

Recently spotted at @scribblercards -😍 We would welcome more of this. Please.

Heartbreaking and infuriating. Thank you for sharing @mollyjforbes. The harm the National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP) is causing will last a lifetime for some, if not many. #PlayNotWeigh

As a charity of white, cis & able-bodied women, we're reflecting on how our actions/inaction perpetuate systems of oppression in light of the harm experienced by @marquisele @ASDAH @lindleyashline. We're committed to learning & know there is much more we can do. #WhiteSupremacy

Diets do not work! #DitchingDieting #haes

Intuitive eaters have been shown to: ➡ Have greater body appreciation/self-esteem/enjoyment of eating, ➡ Engage in less disordered eating/idealization of thinness, and ➡ Show improved wellbeing via markers such as better glycemic control/decreased cholesterol. #HAES

Christmas is not always the most wonderful time of the year for everybody. It can be filled with triggers, stress and anxiety, especially around food. One of our wonderful members wrote this piece to help people navigate diet talk over the holidays anybodyuk.medium.com/navigat…

Happy International Day of Persons With Disabilities. The theme is ‘Leadership and participation of persons with disabilities toward an inclusive, accessible and sustainable post-COVID-19 world', to highlight challenges and opportunities in the context of a global pandemic.

We are supporting #NationalFertilityAwarenessWeek with some information about the links between infertility and body image issues. Please do read and share as these are issues that are not given the attention they deserve! doi.org/10.1016/j.fertnstert… doi.org/10.1080/21642850.202…

So disappointed to see @TicketmasterUK promoting this kind of harmful agenda
