what you can do

There are two really important things you can do:

• run a junk amnesty day in your school
• lobby your local councillors and MP to find out what they’re doing about school food in your area

As a parent, there are a few other things you can do that will really make a difference:

• check out your child’s school dinners
• become a lunchtime supervisor
• share your great ideas and spread the word
• get your hands dirty
• clean up your lunchboxes
• cook with your kids
• sit down and eat together

school standards

The new school food standards mean that from this autumn, things have to change in all schools, and quite quickly too! Have a look at the School Food Trust website for a summary. You can download each new standard as well. It’s really important that schools and dinner ladies get loads of support while these changes are taking place.
