By getting certified by Sugarwise, schools and caterers demonstrate their commitment to doing their part in reducing sugar intake in children.

New Change4Life teaching resources will support teachers to use English and Maths lessons to help children cut back on sugar.

Education caterer Cityserve, which is part of Birmingham City Council, officially launched its plan to cut the amount of sugar stocked by its schools by 30 per cent over the next 12 months.

Children aged 4 to 10 years are consuming on average 13 cubes a day, when the maximum should be the equivalent of five to six cubes.

The Scottish government is calling for views on proposals to further reduce sugar and other measures to make school meals, drinks and snacks healthier.
