The consultation will close for comments at 5pm on 27 March 2020. A summary of the responses to this consultation will be published on the DE website.

As the school environment can have a significant influence on the health behaviours of children and young people and in particular their food choices, it is important that all food provided in school is in keeping with up-to-date government advice on healthy eating.
