The Oral Health Foundation is proud to support the launch of Fuel for Learning – a new, parent-led toolkit designed to help families better understand and influence what their children eat at school.
Developed by the Children’s Food Campaign, part of Sustain, this practical guide has been co-designed with parents to make school food systems clearer, more transparent, and easier to navigate.
Why it matters
Food plays a vital role in children’s health, wellbeing, and ability to learn – including their oral health. Yet for many parents, the way school meals are planned and delivered can feel complex or difficult to influence.
“What children eat at school doesn’t just affect their energy and concentration – it has a direct impact on their oral health and long-term wellbeing. Giving parents the tools to understand and influence school food is a vital step towards creating healthier environments for children to thrive.”
