Eating well at school

In these guidelines, CWT and the National Heart Forum have joined forces to produce a detailed, evidence-based summary of the factors associated with eating well in school and have updated the 1992 nutrient-based standards to reflect new scientific evidence and advice.

These guidelines go further than the original 1992 publication in looking at food and drinks in school across the school day and brings the arguments for an improved school food system up to date.

These guidelines provide background information on the nutritional needs of school children and health issues for this group and provide sources of help and advice on all aspects of school food as well as clear recommendations on measures needed to ensure positive change.
