Recommendation 9
9
Introduce auto-enrolment for all eligible children in free school meals without delay.
Recommendation
We consider that the arguments for auto-enrolment in free school meals for those children currently eligible are conclusive. In the interests of alleviating hunger in schools and improving health and educational outcomes for the poorest children, auto-enrolment must be brought in without delay.
