August 2008 This inventory identifies and summarizes recent and on-going research being conducted in the UK relevant to the remit of the Trust.
The aim of this review is to determine what research, with relevance to the remit of the Trust, has been or is being conducted in the UK, and what is being planned for the near future. Its purpose is to provide an overview rather than a critical evaluation of the research. The main objectives of this project were therefore:
- To determine if a comprehensive review of research on child nutrition and all aspects of health has been conducted by any national or academic institution or Government body.
- If not, to collate and document information on recently completed, ongoing and planned research work on nutrition and health of school aged children in the UK.
- To identify gaps in knowledge in relation to the remit of the School Food Trust.
