15 January 2024
This podcast hears about the impact of the UK’s School Meals Service on schools and their communities since its inception in 1906, and how it can adapt to the challenges of food insecurity and the impact of the economic crisis on children's learning.
Professor Gary McCulloch is Principal Investigator of an ESRC-funded research project finding out what lessons may be learned from the lived experiences of school meal recipients, teachers, parents and catering staff, both now and in the past.
