What does the study involve?

We will invite parents, young people, school staff and others connected to school food or education to take part in workshops.

We will share our research findings with the groups and ask them to talk about their own experiences of school food. We will ask their views on how to improve school food policy.

We will invite a group of policymakers working in government to meet on three occasions. We will share the our findings from our workshops with policymakers and discuss solutions for improving school food policy.
