School Food Plan local events - have your say!

12 February 2013 - Schools – here’s a great chance for you to have your say on the future of school food.

Many of you will know about the independent review into school food – the School Food Plan - that is currently underway.

The review team want to give all schools the chance to get involved and help shape the plan. To do this, they are running a series of consultation events around the country to give you chance to share your thoughts.

The main aims of the plan is to increase the number of children eating good food in schools, and determine the role of food, cooking and growing. We know our FFLP schools are already experts on this subject, so would encourage you to attend and talk about your experiences.
