Child BMI is routinely measured and calculated in England for the National Child Measurement Programme, or NCMP as it’s known. Whether it’s mandatory or not in your country, measuring child growth is important to track their development. SchoolScreener® NCMP in England, SchoolScreener® Height + Weight elsewhere is the software to manage the full BMI screening process from data capture to administration, including personalised communications to parents/carers.
