Across England, schools are running food banks to help the children and their families. Research suggests that 21% of schools in England now offer some form of food charity.
In our recently published book, we carried out research at 12 schools and nurseries with food banks across England, interviewing 30 teachers, headteachers and school staff who ran the food banks. We wanted to explore why there has been such considerable growth in the education sector offering food to families, and the impact it has on children, parents and school staff.
