One of the key changes that has arisen from participating in Healthy FE has been the development of very strong and supportive relationships with the local community PCT and the local health agencies in the Dudley area. Jane Langford, Dudley College ” “ The sharing of best practice and innovative ideas with other colleges is supported by taking on the role of regional coordinator and the collaborative relationships that have been formed. These relationships are not only local in the community but across other counties and colleges. Hartpury College ”

Maddy Varley, Bilborough College ” “ Catering providers – if they are external, make sure that the Healthy College manager is on the committee that approves the contract. Write it into the contact that a healthy provision is part of the deal. Meet with them every month to keep up with making sure that they are providing healthy food. Jane Marshall, Bradford College ”
