SCHOOL nurses, cooks and teachers have been working together to promote healthy eating and encourage basic hygiene.

Using a resource pack produced by Durham dietician Anne Tudor, teachers in Middlesbrough have been sharing good practice and swapping ideas and ways to encourage children to eat more fruit and vegetables and drink more water.

The training session was led by school meals' manager, Angela Blower, aided by environmental health officer Joy Swithenbank, who focused on the importance of hygiene.
