Working with a member of the healthy schools team, I was involved with many visits to primary schools in the Leeds area with regards to school dinners and packed lunches. Ensuring schools are complying with nutritional standards. These visits involved sampling school dinners, monitoring packed lunches and dining room experience. I was tasked with reviewing school food policies and developing reports to provide the schools with information to enhance their policies. I was involved in training events provided for teaching staff on cooking in the curriculum and how to develop a packed lunch policy. I attended a meeting with Catering Leeds, where I was asked to minute the meeting. I was asked to develop an evaluation tool for the packed lunch toolkit, which is a product available for schools to purchase to help produce a policy on packed lunches. The questionnaire I developed will be sent out to all schools who have purchased the toolkit and will be included with all future sales. Show less

I was able to help prepare lessons on nutrition and provide support for teaching staff delivering the sessions.
