Fruit and veg

Most people will have seen the media attention given to children's databases during the last few days. One thing that cropped up repeatedly was the mention of the target of ensuring children ate 5 portions of fruit and vegetables per day.

The full Public Service Agreement (PSA) targets (including the fruit and veg measure) for local authorities can be seen in the DfES' outcomes and indicators document.

Conference - Children: Over Surveilled, Under Protected

ARCH and LSE are putting on an afternoon conference in the Hong Kong Theatre of the London School of Economics on 27th June from 2-5pm to outline the range of databases that hold information about children, to clarify the distinction between 'child protection' and 'safeguarding children', and to examine the evidence for the government's current 'early intervention' policy.

***CHILDREN'S DATABASES*** This is a blog project designed to give you your very own cut-out'n'keep guide to all of the children's databases (note the plural). Because it's complicated, we've built it up in steps. Start at #1 and work through to #14.
