Stop companies marketing junk food to children online
A new report released by the Children's Food Campaign examines the topsy turvy world of the regulations that are supposed to (but don’t) protect children from online marketing of junk food. The Through the Looking Glass report finds that, two years on from extending the non-broadcast advertising rules to cover websites and social media, the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) is struggling to get to grips with its new role and is failing.
Save our School Food Standards
Academies do not have to apply the standards which safeguard school food. There is a real danger of poor quality food creeping back on the menu and junk-food vending machines edging their way back onto school grounds. Help us put pressure on the Government to ensure every child has access to nutritious food at school. The government is now reviewing school food and everything is on the table … including the future of the standards.

Securing cooking's central place on the curriculum
Good news: the new draft National Curriculum, published earlier this year, places cooking and food education in a prominent position in the Design and Technology syllabus, and makes it a compulsory subject for all 7-14 year olds to study. But the decision is not yet signed and sealed. We encouraged people to submit responses to the Department for Education's consultation on the curriculum, to show support for – and suggest ways of strengthening – what would be a great stride forward in equipping young people with the knowledge and skills to make healthier food choices.
