Trust news 2011
After 14 years working with the Trust, Helen will be leaving CWT at the end of April 2011. CWT has been able to produce nearly 20 expert reports and resources over this time and many of the evidence based reports have contributed to key nutrition policy areas in the UK.
From May 2011 Helen can be contacted at Helen.Crawley.1@city.ac.uk.
The Trust would also like to thank Megan Pacey and Yvonne Gritschneder who have stepped down as trustees, and thank them for their contributions and work for the trust. Three new trustees will be joining the trust shortly and further details will be sent out in the next CWT newsletter. Please sign up for the newsletter to keep informed.
Early Years work
In March 2011
The School Food Trust published food and nutrition guidance for early years settings in England compiled by an independent Advisory Panel at the request of the Department of Education. The CWT nutritional guidelines in our publication Eating well for under 5s in childcare were used to underpin the new guidance. For more information about the new guidance see the school food trust website.
The CWT CHEW First year of life Practical Guide and the 1-4 Years Eating Well Practical Guide fully support this new guidance, and details of these resources can be found at www.cwt-chew.org.uk.
A short film about the CHEW 1-4 Years Eating Well Practical Guide can also be found on the CHEW website. The film demonstrates how the resource can be used in early years settings and with children, parents and carers and we hope this will encourage settings to try the resource out. We have had a lot of very positive feedback about the resources and as with all CWT publications, we are happy for people to use the text and images in any local resources they produce which are available free to early years settings.
Infant Milks in the UK
A report outlining the composition of infant milks for sale in the UK and looking at how these products are monitored is available as a free downloadable PDF. We are grateful to The A Team Foundation for providing funding for us to complete this project. The main aim of the publication is to stimulate the relevant health departments of the UK to provide independent information on infant milks to health professionals and parents in line with both international and EU recommendations.
