Standards for healthy eating, physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sleep in early childhood education and care settings: a toolkit: web annex: development of the standards and global survey questionnaire

Standards for healthy eating, physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sleep in early childhood education and care settings: a toolkit: web annex: development of the standards and global survey questionnaire

The global standards were developed through collaboration between WHO departments and offices and academic partners, and in consultation with a panel of technical experts and other relevant stakeholders. Development included a systematic review, analysis of existing national and subnational standards, an online global survey and technical expert review. 

Technical expert review 

A group of technical experts met and assessed the ECEC standards’ topics identified through the systematic review; the review of existing national and subnational standards; and the results of the survey of those working in ECEC settings. The suitability of each standard for ECEC settings across different continents was considered.
