April 2008 This fresh look booklet provides practical guidance to assist schools and local authorities to respond to the Government's efficiency and sustainability agendas as they relate to school food.
The recommendations the booklet contains will help you to respond to a range of local and national government policy and strategy initiatives, including:
- Defra’s Public Sector Food Procurement Initiative
- The National Improvement and Efficiency Strategy (this includes the response to CSR07 and the Local Government White Paper)
- DCSF’s Sustainable Schools Strategy
- The Local Government Association’s Sustainable Procurement Strategy
The guide is aimed primarily at catering and procurement staff, but it should also be of use to head teachers, school governors and others who have an interest in school food and who wish to know what they might reasonably expect of their suppliers.
