Inter-professional learning in practice (HSC_5_007)
Childhood Obesity in ‘London Borough of Barking and Dagenham’
	Introduction 
The assessment is going to discuss the Big Ambition of ‘Tackling Childhood Obesity’ in the chosen locality of ‘London Borough of Barking and Dagenham’. I have chosen this locality as it is London’s fastest growing borough and it has highest proportion of obese children in London (Shaw, 2018).  It involves largest proportion of school going children, out of all the localities in Wales and England. The preschool population is also among the fastest growing in this part of London. The area is estimated to have total population of 212906 people, with 27% population comprising children of age 0-14 years, and 63% of population involving people from 16 to 65 years of age (Barking & Dagenham, 2018). Among the age of 2-10 years old children, more number of boys are obese than the girls. In the age group 11-15 years, more girls are obese than the boys. The variations in obesity rate at different locations of London may be attributed to different ethnic profiles of different people.
I have chosen Childhood obesity as big ambition as the obesity in children is associated with elevated risk of diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and other health issues at younger age. The prevalence of obesity is very high in deprived communities in London. Children living in poor areas are more affected by obesity which imparts adverse consequences on their health and well being. The number of children getting obese gets double as the children attain the age of 6 years (Public Health England, 2014). It is a highly prevalent social norm in this locality.
In this essay, I am going to explore the issues related to childhood obesity in London Borough of Barking and Dagenham. The essay will also critically review the inter-professional working in this locality, evaluating the relevant literature, outlining national policies and review the factors applicable to achieve the target outcomes in this locality.
Issues for London Borough of Barking and Dagenham
Key variables which determine the health for childhood obesity involve high level of TV watching, parental inactivity, low levels of physical activity, and higher consumption of daily carbohydrate, fat and sweetened drinks. The young people or the parents do not understand the implications of obesity on health as they have limited awareness about the weight status of their child.  According to NHS Report, each one in 4 children of age 6 years children is obese in this locality. The kids aged 10 and 11 years old are more than twice at the risk of obesity than the boroughs having lowest obesity rate in children. 13.9% of children of age 4-5 years are obese in London Borough of Barking and Dagenham (Shaw, 2018). The condition is complex and requires the people to understand the barriers which do not let the people change their behaviors.
Majority of food options available for children in this locality are unhealthy, cheap and sweetened drinks. There are a number of fast food shops which make the junk food too readily available. Moreover the young children do not receive adequate exercise. The waiting and referral times for the NHS have also grown in recent years which imposes financial burden on the health services. There is shortage of nurses also, which makes it less encouraging for the people to visit the hospitals for regular checkups.
Impact of Inequality: The obesity is found highest in the areas which are most deprived. The children belonging to certain ethnic groups of minorities like Black Carribean, Bangladeshi and Black African are at an elevated risk of obesity. The deprivation is decided on the basis of seven areas of deprivation: education, health, housing, income, environment, employment and crime. Deprivations in any form in the families affect the childhood obesity. In most of the families there are socioeconomic conditions like economic uncertainity, precarious housing conditions, lack of open green spaces for exercise and playing for kids, and less infrastructure for cycling and walking. The health of citizens varies from place to place. Barking and Dagenham have lowest levels of people indulged in physical activity. Since 2017-18 only half of these residents are availing the required 150 minutes of medium level exercise every week (Barrett, Brown & Belcher, 2019). The obese children are in highest proportions in poorer boroughs like Barking and Dagenham (45%) while it is lowest in proportion in wealthier boroughs like Kingston (23%) and Richmond (26%) (Centre for London, 2019).  In poorer living conditions and uncertain housing the children aged 5-19 years incept behavioral disorders at an early stage. One possible reason for this may be the greater use of social media by the kids and the pressure created by certain public image. Other possible cause of mental issues in children may be attributed to increased exam pressure.
Main Challenges facing this issue in UK and London Borough of Barking and Dagenham
In UK: Nearly half of the pregnant women attending their first appointment with midwife are obese. The obese mothers are at higher risk of giving birth to babies with more than normal body weight and further development of childhood obesity. Also the children who live in families where at least one parent is obese, are at higher risk of getting obese in future. Due to poverty, the unhealthy diet alternatives and low levels of physical activity are main causes of excess weight gain in children. In UK most of the children eat more than the recommended daily level of sugar intake in form of sugary drinks.
Obesity increases the risk of high blood pressure, stroke while imposing high burden on healthcare resources. NHS is already spending £5.1 billion annually on treatment of obesity related health conditions (WHO, 2019). Deprivation ad obesity is strongly associated. With increase in deprivation, the number of overweight children increases. The cities having most deprived areas have higher number of obese children for example In England 25.8% and in Scotland 18% (Royal College of Pediatrics and Child Health, 2018).
The children are living increasingly sedentary lives in front of TV and mobile screens which increase their cravings for food. Eating more while watching TV and playing video games, increase body calories. There are high numbers of carbonated sugary drinks, the food companies doing aggressive marketing of these junk foods, increased power of purchasing in customers, and low prices of energy dense foods, which are readily available for the children. Also 47% of the parents of obese children have poor knowledge about the healthy body weight (Ministry of Defense UK, 2019).
In London Borough of Barking and Dagenham,  there are low number of children involved in physically active lifestyle, there is poorer infrastructure for cycling and playing in form of green spaces in locality.
