Helping you implement Healthy Eating Policies

Following the introduction of the new Nutrition Guidelines in September 2006, many parents, headteachers, caterers, governors and teachers must be wondering:

How do we provide healthy, nutritious food for our children?

• Where do we buy it from?
• How do we persuade the children to eat it?
• How will our caterers have time to prepare meals from scratch?

This new book of case studies will also inspire you to try lots of new ideas.

Healthy Eating in Schools - A Handbook of Practical Case Studies

Healthy Eating in Schools - A Handbook of Practical Case Studies draws together a variety of initiatives to provide an invaluable collection of information for those who plan to implement or expand their Healthy Eating Strategies.
