Over 1.8 million school age children are starting the day hungry. NASUWT are supporting the School Breakfast Bill to ensure at-risk children have a free and nutritious breakfast, an important step to closing the educational attainment gap.
The child food poverty crisis has escalated throughout COVID-19. 2 million children experienced food insecurity during the first 5 weeks of lockdown alone. Even before the pandemic, however, 6 children in every class of 30 were at risk of hunger, preventing them from being able to focus in class. Without help, these children will fall behind their classmates, limiting their future education and employment opportunities.
We’re partnering with Magic Breakfast and Feeding Britain in support of the School Breakfast Bill to ensure no child is too hungry to learn.
Please join us in asking your MP to support the Bill, it takes just 1 minute:
