LACA offers briefing notes on new School Food Plan
LACA has released a detailed set of briefing notes explaining the main points of the new School Food Plan (SFP) and offering some comment and analysis.
The school meals organisation says it is pleased the SFP process has focused attention on the vital role of school food in child development and improving educational attainment.
It particularly welcomes the emphasis on increased uptake of school meals and the role everyone has to play in ensuring a holistic approach in providing good food.
Anne Bull, Chair of LACA, says: “Going forward we are keen to highlight the need for a ‘whole school’ approach to school food. Everybody has to play their part to ensure that the plan is a success.
“The Department for Education has a number of experts in school food available to support and enact the recommendations of this plan and, as the professional body representing the school food industry, LACA is committed to being actively involved in the implementation of this plan.”
