“Every Body Deserves Kindness”
The Leeds Beckett University Obesity Institute are excited to introduce “Every Body Deserves Kindness”, a short film for children aged 6–9 designed to raise awareness of weight-related bullying while promoting kindness, inclusion, and positive body image.
The film was co-designed with young people, families, paediatricians, psychologists, child weight management experts, as well as primary school teachers and head teachers, ensuring it is both engaging and evidence-informed.
Alongside the film, they have developed a comprehensive teaching pack, aligned to PHSE for Key Stage 1 and 2. These resources are designed to support children in understanding, discussing, and challenging stigma and bias around body weight, shape, and size.
We hope these resources help create a more kind, inclusive, and body-positive environment in your community.
If you could spare a few minutes, they’d really appreciate your feedback on the resource pack. Please click here to answer a few questions. Thank you!
If you are looking for a resource to do with the ENHANCE study, we have put them all below so you can easily find what you are looking for!
