Only a fifth of Welsh children are full after school meals

ONLY a fifth of children taking part in a survey about school dinners in Wales have said they are full after their meal, research reveals today.

Almost half said they are unable to have seconds if they ask for it.

Rocio Cifuentes, Children’s Commissioner for Wales, who surveyed schools across the country, called the findings “an important snapshot of children’s views on a vital aspect of their lives.”

“As part of the consultation process we will be seeking the views of children and young people, parents and stakeholders about any changes we plan to make to school food and consider the most recent health recommendations for child nutrition, including portion sizes,” they added.
