National Partners

Eight local authorities were included as Early Adopters. All Early Adopters were supported by a National Co-ordinator, employed by Obesity Action Scotland, and a board of National Partners. The National Partners have played an instrumental role in successfully delivering the programme using the whole systems approach public health priorities.

The Governance Structure, proposed by the Scottish Government Diet and Healthy Weight Team, and Public Health Reform, held meetings with Obesity Action Scotland (OAS) and Public Health Scotland (PHS), which helped to build the structure as seen below.   

The National Co-ordinator role works between the Early Adopter areas and the National Partners, providing support and learning opportunities, and reporting back to the National Partners.
