Health in All Policies guidance
Our Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2022-26 set out how 'place-shaping' can help tackle causes of poor health across Thurrock. 'Place-shaping' is about how we can use our powers and influence creatively for the general well-being of communities and citizens. Our 'Health in All Polices' guidance, below, is our approach to healthy place-shaping for new and future residents, both young and older.
Brighter Futures report

Whole systems obesity strategy and framework
Obesity is a complex problem that is linked to poorer health outcomes and can lead to a number of health conditions, such as Type 2 Diabetes and high blood pressure.
Our social, economic and living environments can all influence obesity, which is why we need a new approach to the problem. A 'whole systems' approach refers to the network of factors that contribute to a problem or solution. Public, private and community sectors all have a role to play in making better use of resources, finding ways to change, and improving health and well-being in Thurrock.
