Free support available for school meals

17 Oct 2014

All schools, Local Authorities, academy trusts and caterers who are directly involved in providing universal infant free school meals can access The Children’s Food Trust’s (CFT) free advice service. You may also be eligible for direct support from the specialist delivery partners working with CFT and LACA.

Additional free support  is also available to support schools and Local Authorities increase take-up of school food. An action of the School Food Plan is to kick-start increased take-up of good school food and help schools break-even.

The Department for Education has commissioned the Food for Life Partnership, the Children’s Food Trust, and the Design and Technology Association to help junior and secondary schools make improvements to increase their school meal take-up.

These brilliant organisations are working directly with schools, academy chains and local authorities across England to help schools link school meals, food education and food culture together – driving the ‘whole school approach’.
