Publications
CWT produce evidence based reports which provide nutritional and practical guidelines to encourage eating well among specific vulnerable population groups. These reports are put together with a multi-disciplinary working group and make a number of recommendations which we think should be adopted locally and nationally to make a real difference to public health. We also produce some training materials to accompany our reports.
Our publications can be downloaded or hard copies can be purchased via Amazon.
CWT can accept BACS payments for single or bulk orders. Please contact us at: [email protected]

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.

Eating well for looked after children and young people
The Caroline Walker Trust (2001)

It also provides recommendations for linking food knowledge into care and the skills that young people will need when they become independent.

Eating Well for Older People with Dementia
For too long weight loss and poor nutritional status have been seen as an inevitable consequence of dementia.
Eating well for older people with Dementia challenges that view by showing how a healthy, balanced diet, firmly founded on variety and quality, can help significantly in promoting and implementing the health and quality of life of older people with dementia.
This work results from the ground-breaking earlier report, Eating well for older people which gave nutritional guidelines for food served in residential and nursing homes and community meals.
These guidelines look more closely at dementia and:
- how dementia affects the ability to eat
- examines the role that good nutrition can play in the care of older people with dementia
- emphasises the importance of organisational commitment to good nutrition and the need for appropriate staff training, and
- provides practical and nutritional guidelines for residential and nursing homes and others catering for older people with dementia.
