Public Health England (PHE) and its partners have developed this toolkit to support local councils and independent food businesses in helping children and families to choose healthier food. It is part of PHE’s approach to dealing with obesity.

The ‘Healthier catering guidance for different types of businesses’ provides tips for business on how to provide and promote healthier food and drink for children and families and reflects the latest government dietary recommendations for sugars.

Use this toolkit to develop local initiatives on healthy catering along with:

• the Eatwell Guide
• 5 A Day advice
• Government Buying Standards for Food and Catering (GBSF)
• Healthier and more sustainable catering guidance
