Debt Local is concerned at media reports which reveal schoolchildren may be forced to eat leftovers at school mealtimes because their families cannot afford to feed them properly.A poll by the Prince’s Trust and the Times Educational Supplement has found that more teachers are witnessing children “scavenging” from their classmates’ leftovers at lunchtime - while others arrived unwashed and see school as a place where they can get warm.
The survey of 515 secondary school professionals also revealed a 16% increase in malnutrition or inadequate diet among schoolchildren, many of whom were not getting enough to eat.
