Who makes up the Healthy Food and Drink Team?
Following the Governments' announcement to transform the quality of food in schools, the Lifelong Learning and Education Scrutiny Committee established a Sub Committee to review and report on the provision of food and drink in schools in 2004.
The report was presented in November 2004 and as a result the Director for Schools established a project to draft detailed proposals for the implementation of the recommendations.
A Healthy Food and Drink Manager was appointed in July 2005 to manage the project and prepare and commence implementing proposals based on the short, medium and long term aims agreed by the Scrutiny Committee.
A Steering Group was set up to ensure a County-wide strategy of information, promotion and change incorporating many issues surrounding the benefits of Healthy Food and Drink.
From this evolved the Healthy Food and Drink Team at Northamptonshire County Council.
