CWT produce evidence based reports which provide nutritional and practical guidelines to encourage eating well among specific vulnerable population groups. These reports are put together with a multi-disciplinary working group and make a number of recommendations which we think should be adopted locally and nationally to make a real difference to public health. We also produce some training materials to accompany our reports.
The following publications are available from the Caroline Walker Trust either to buy or download as a PDF. Although the PDFs are free, donations can be made via PayPal and are much appreciated. If you wish to buy a publication please go to the order form.
The text and tables contained in these reports can be reproduced by anyone involved in providing food as long as an acknowledgement is made to the Caroline Walker Trust. If CWT has been given permission to use information from other sources in their report, then please ensure that due acknowledgement is also given where appropriate.

Eating well at school
Dr Helen Crawley (2005)
In this latest report, CWT and the National Heart Forum have joined forces to produce a detailed, evidenced based summary of the factors associated with eating well in school, and have updated the 1992 nutrient based standards to reflect new scientific evidence and advice.
This report goes further than the original 1992 publication in looking at food and drinks in school across the school day and brings the arguments for an improved school food system up to date.
The report provides background information on the nutritional needs of school children and health issues for this group and provides sources of help and advice on all aspects of school food as well as clear recommendations on measures needed to ensure positive change. |
