Children should not be the victims of the cost of living crisis. They should not have to pay the price because their parents cannot afford to put food on the table or heat the family home.
The Scottish and Welsh governments are introducing universal free school meals, and it’s time England did the same.
Free school meals for all primary-age children would save parents vital pennies – money which could be used to pay for warm clothes, school activities or heating.
It would reduce the bureaucracy attached with decide which pupils are eligible. Most importantly, it would mean every child have the chance to flourish.
