Physical Activity for children and young people Consultation on the review proposal: Stakeholder comments form

The process:

This is a brief summary of how NICE reviews published public health guidance:

1. Stakeholders register interest
Relevant stakeholders are asked to register for the topic under review. Stakeholders are consulted as part of the review process.

Read more about stakeholder registration.

2. Review process begins
A meeting is held with an expert panel consisting of members of the original advisory committee that developed the guidance. They will consider whether there is any significant new evidence which has emerged or any significant changes in service configuration since publication which would lead to the need to reconsider the original recommendations.

3. Review proposal prepared
The proposal will outline a summary of the key factors that have influenced the decision.

4. Consultation on the review proposal
This is a period for registered stakeholders to comment on the review proposal and feed back into the final review decision.

5. Final proposal produced
The NICE Guidance Executive makes the final determination on whether NICE will be updating the guidance on the basis of any new evidence, and changes to service configuration and stakeholder feedback

6. Review decision issued
NICE formalises the review decision on the website.
