  • Summary

  • It seems strange that in 2024 parents feel the need to lead a campaign about healthy food, but with the help of the Children’s Food Campaign at Sustain, that’s exactly what they are doing. Indeed, they managed to get to meet members of parliament to share their manifesto with them.

    In this podcast I speak to Barbara Crowther, Children’s Food Campaign Manager at Sustain and parent ambassador Jaynaide Powis about their comprehensive polling of over 2,000 parents conducted by Savanta and the Children’s Food Campaign which has helped determine the biggest challenges faced by parents in the current food system and their top priorities for change.

    Listen as we explore topical questions such as:

    1. Is it time to stop our snacking culture?
    2. Do we need to go back to the days when we all learned to cook in the home economics class at school
    3. Should nurseries have free nursery food and should all chefs be trained with credible Chef qualification such as our degree from the Early Years Chef Academy ?
    4. Do we need statutory food guidance for nurseries and childminders?
    5. Should Ofsted be inspecting food in nurseries and childminders?
    6. What further policies are needed to support them.
