a)
That the feedback from the engagement exercise
on the proposed delivery model for the Whole School Approach to Food and
Nutrition Programme in Leicestershire primary schools be noted;
b) That the new model for the Whole School Approach to Food and Nutrition Programme, to include targeted support for schools most in need and a universal offer for all primary schools in the County, be approved.
REASONS FOR DECISION:
The current contract for the provision of the Whole School
Approach to Food and Nutrition Programme ends on 31 May 2024.
The Council’s Medium Term Financial Strategy 2023/24 –
