This seminar was a timely opportunity to assess policy measures being introduced to improve school food and children's nutrition in the UK, following the publication of the Government-commissioned School Food Plan. Sessions focused on how the Government can make nutritious food more widely available in schools, strategies for schools and parents to encourage children to eat healthy food, and the challenges for implementing food based standards for all schools from September 2014.
With the Deputy Prime Minister announcing Government's intention to provide all infant school pupils with free school meals from September 2014, the agenda brought out the latest thinking on the economic, health and educational benefits of the scheme, and provided delegates with an opportunity to discuss the challenges for its implementation.
