An integrated programme including food and nutrition training courses for health and early years professionals and early years practitioners was developed and piloted in five local authorities in England. The programme was targeted to areas with higher than average levels of deprivation (defined using free school meal eligibility data for primary school by local authority (2010 data) and higher than average levels of health inequalities (defined using the percentage of overweight and obese children in reception year of school by local authority in 2009-10) for the region. Twenty local authorities/Primary Care Trusts were invited to take part in the Phase 2 (2012-2013) and commissioned the subsidised programme. This report describes the impact of the Eat Better, Start Better programme for the twenty authorities that participated in Phase 2. (author abstract)
