Food in Schools
Health and Nutrition Inspectors
Education Scotland’s Health and Nutrition Inspectors (HNIs) ensure that schools are health-promoting and complying with nutritional regulations. More information can be found on the Health and Nutrition Inspections webpage.
Self-Evaluation of Food in Schools
Education Scotland has developed a digital self-evaluation framework for food in schools across Scotland. The framework was co-created by Education Scotland with a group of local authority caterers and educators. At its heart is a set of quality indicators which will help all those involved with food in school to identify strengths in their practice and areas where further improvement is required to improve positive health and wellbeing outcomes for children and young people. A collaborative approach involving all practitioners involved with food in school, using high quality evidence, is essential. The framework can now be accessed via this link: Food in Schools across Scotland.
