1980 c. 44. Sections 56A and 56D were inserted by section 3 of the Schools (Health Promotion and Nutrition) (Scotland) Act 2007 (asp 15) and section 56A was amended by section 22 of the Education (Scotland) Act 2016 (asp 8).
These Regulations may be cited as the Nutritional Requirements for Food and Drink in Schools (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2023 and come into force on 16 November 2023.
These Regulations amend the Nutritional Requirements for Food and Drink in Schools (Scotland) Regulations 2020 (“the 2020 Regulations”).
The 2020 Regulations specify the nutritional requirements that education authorities and managers of grant aided schools must comply with in relation to the provision of food and drink in schools. Regulation 2(a) amends regulation 2 of the 2020 Regulations to omit paragraphs (3) and (4). Those paragraphs provide that where, in the event of shortages in the supply of food, an education authority is, or the managers of a grant aided school are, unable to provide food or drink to pupils which complies with the requirements, they may provide food or drink that does not so comply. Regulation 2(b) of these Regulations substitutes a new paragraph 5 of schedule 3 of the 2020 Regulations which provides a formula for calculating the energy and nutrient content of the average school meal on a weekly basis.
