Today we celebrate once-in-a-generation changes in #schoolfood ππΌ
Itβs the first time the School Food Standards in England have been updated in over a decade, and the first proposed plans to monitor compliance ever. These are huge steps to ensure children across the country can get the nutritious school food they deserve.
Schools, caterers and parents can sign up for free support and resources at schoolfoodproject.org.uk/regβ¦
Weβre part of the School Food Project coalition behind this stunt with Angela Hartnett and young @BiteBack2030 activists. We served star guests the processed burgers & soggy chips some kids still get at school - then the fresh, tasty #schoolfood new standards make possible.
New standards + monitoring start now. The Project helps schools with recipes, training & support via the Hub. Watch, share and sign up π schoolfoodproject.org.uk/regβ¦
