Poor diet is a significant contributor to Scotland's poor health record. Improving children's diet can make a major impact on the health of children with beneficial outcomes for educational attainment and improved health in later life. While much of the guidance on achieving this is in the hands of parents, the Council is playing its part by following the recommendations given in the Scottish Executive’s "Hungry for Success" report on school meals. The report was produced by a panel of dietary experts whose remit was to develop a strategy to:

  • establish standards for the nutritional content of school meals
  • improve the presentation of school meals to improve general take-up
  • eliminate any stigma attached to taking free school meals.
