On 19 October 2022, the DfE published an updated version of their Healthy schools rating scheme. The self-assessment tool should be used by schools, colleges and early years settings to determine how well they are promoting healthy eating and physical activity and find out information on how they might improve their healthy living policies. Settings will be awarded a rating based on their performance.
This webinar will provide an overview of the updated guidance for settings, discuss the importance and role of staff in promoting a healthy lifestyle and support settings in how to best use the self-assessment tool with their setting.
