This seminar provided a timely opportunity to assess the progress made to improve school food and children's nutrition, one year on from the release of the School Food Plan. Sessions focused on the introduction of universal infant school meals from September 2014, with particular attention to the latest thinking on securing access to funding, improving the quality of school kitchens and the potential for expanding the scheme to include more children.
With Government also due to implement revised school food standards and introduce cooking lessons to the national curriculum for 7-14 year olds from September 2014, delegates had the opportunity to discuss the challenges for their implementation - including ensuring the understanding of new regulations and the readiness of schools and caterers. Sessions brought together key policymakers from Parliament and Whitehall with regulators and stakeholders with an interest in this area, including schools, academies, free schools, suppliers, local authorities, charities, commentators and campaign groups.
