Does South Australia need school provided meals? Let the Citizens’ Jury decide

School provided meals are common internationally to support families experiencing food insecurity and have achieved benefits in student attendance, academic performance and nutrition. However, costs, lack of infrastructure and potential resistance from stakeholders are barriers to adoption in South Australia.

Join the Commissioner for Children and Young People and Flinders University to observe a jury-style debate on the question “Does South Australia need school provided meals?”. 

Arguments for and against will be presented by “expert witnesses” to a group of “jurors” representing key stakeholders to determine support for or against the idea of school provided meals in SA .
