Inclusion Criteria

Children presenting to the participating paediatric practice or children whose parents initiated contact with us about the study who are aged between 3–12 years old (up to but not including their 13th birthday) and identified as obese according to CDC charts (ie BMI greater than or equal to the 95th age- and sex-specific percentile), and their families.

Exclusion Criteria

Children will be excluded from the study if they:
1. have a major disability or health condition judged by parents, paediatricians and/or researchers to preclude participation (eg severe autism),
2. or are receiving treatment from a tertiary weight management service.

Finally, families who do not speak sufficient English to participate meaningfully in the trial will also be excluded, as we do not have the funds available for interpreters.

Recognised health conditions or medications likely to have an impact on weight will be recorded in the study database and participants meeting these criteria will be excluded from secondary analyses.
