As part of the School healthy eating programme a guide has been provided to help parents and carers with ideas of what to include in their child’s packed lunch as part of a healthy balanced lifestyle. This is in compliance with the Government’s mandatory food and nutrients based standards implemented within schools to support and promote healthy eating, and that the range of foods offered are nutritionally balanced. Therefore providing children with the right levels of energy and nutrients, in which to contribute to a child’s healthy growth and development.
