Podcast meeting: 2

Well the second meeting has gone really well. After finding some excellent research about the National Child Measurement Programme and the programs being done by the Department of Children, Schools and Families, we are targeting our programme to parents of school age children. What we'd like to do is interview a teacher, who can tell us how the curriculum has changed over a period of time (ten years maybe - this needs to be confirmed), focusing on the amount of physical education, sports time and playtime now scheduled. We'd also like to touch on the change in school dinners and and the food available at school in vending machines.

The second interview will be from a representative for the Department of Children, Schools and Families (DCSF), this will be a platform for them to highlight what they are doing to tackle childhood obesity - how are they helping parents?

The third interview will be with a parent, are they aware of the changes highlighted by DCSF? What is this their child's diet like at home? Do they exercise with them or limit TV time?Are they aware of the dangers of child obesity, after all they want to do the best for their child.

We would still like to us the AV suit but are keen to use the small camera to take some shots outside the studio to make it more interesting. This needs to be confirmed though!

Next we need to conduct more research and start drafting up some questions. Watch this space, Alex

  1. Excellent comments. Again, a good range of stakeholders and this will be good to see how you address this in the interviews. This is a key aspect in public health. Some good interview questions and I am looking forward to seeing how they unfold.
