Health Promotion Services run a free lending library of games, display materials, health banners as well as reference books, leaflets and posters.
In this section we have pulled together some key food education resources such as the Food Standards Scotland and Food a fact of life which is helpfully listed according to age and abilities. We have also included Parentclub as a good place recommend to parents for recipes and fun activities.
If you would like more detailed information we suggest the BDA food fact sheets and the Feed Your Mind Podcast.
