This framework is currently aimed at the ages of - 7-9, 11-12, 14 and 16+.

Has anyone had experience of it in their out of hours/wraparound or playwork roles ?

Page 3 of this consultation study with a network of School councils shows the general concensus of what children know about diet & health by the age of 7 (and the other ages mentioned above) -Age Related Competencies

Page 4 - Consumer awareness by the age of 7

Intrigued by the comment about not having that many food tasting opportunities .. :wide-eyed:

If you have ideas for food tasing projects, would it be possible to secure funding for it via your local food liason group members:
FSA Grant application for 2008 - 09
If like me you don't/didn't know - 'What are Food Liason Groups' :paperbag: :D lol
