Current status: Answered by Jenny Gilruth on 19 November 2025
To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answer to question S6W-30646 by Jenny Gilruth on 8 November 2024, whether it will provide an update regarding what processes for monitoring and measuring outcomes it has implemented to gather evidence on the effectiveness of the delivery of its school meal debt fund.
In line with grant conditions, local authorities have reported to the Scottish Government on how they used their funding allocations and how they continue to support families through the implementation of the Good Practice Principles for the Management of School Meal Debt published by COSLA.
The local authority reports have been analysed and a report on the School Meal Debt Fund will be published in due course.
