Currently school meals in Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales, and England differ in terms eligibility etc. Wouldn't it be nice for all children across the UK to have equal access to school meals regardless of borders.

Replying to @nadhimzahawi
@nadhimzahawi just seen you were in Melton today with @aliciakearns I would have loved to get your perspective on my 6yo SEN son, who was excluded from school on Friday, 15months on from being placed on the paediatric waitlist. Where is the support? Does anyone actually care?

Glad to see the Govt is taking this seriously. But very important that Govt continues to talk to cooks, caterers and heads to consider best way to feed hungry children. Different approaches will work in different places.
