Julie Cooper – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Education

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Julie Cooper on 2016-01-18.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps her Department is taking to encourage schools and students to use Public Health England’s Sugar Smart app.

Mr Sam Gyimah

The Department for Education fully supports Public Health England’s current campaign to encourage children to reduce the amount of sugar they eat.

The Department’s considerable social media reach has been mobilised in support of the campaign. We have been using numerous channels to promote the Sugar Smart app and other materials related to this year’s Change4Life campaign, including the teacher toolkits distributed directly to 16,500 primary schools in England.
