Verbatim
“There is a an inconsistency in these policies where we have the greater need in the early years, the greater impact in the early years. We know it's a really important period of development, but we actually have less targeted provision for providing free meals.”
“This really highlights that not only are younger children at much higher risk of experiencing food poverty, but also when we take into account other risk factors, the risk of experiencing food poverty increases even more to shockingly high levels.”
