Policy Brief 1 – Achieving Equality and Equity in the Provision of Food and Nutrition Support in Early Childhood Education and Care Settings: Opportunities and Actions for System Change in Australia.

Policy Brief 1

There is a lack of equality in the provision and accessibility of initiatives, programs, services, training and resources which support ECEC settings to provide safe and healthy food environments across Australia.

ECEC services often provide up to two-thirds of children’s daily food intake and have an opportunity to create supportive environments for optimal nutrition and development.
