Petition Expand provision of free school meals for children wherever possible

The provision of free school meals is a very welcome benefit to those on low incomes and those serving in the Jersey Field Squadron. Signalling we value those who serve. So why not include, Nurses, Police, Firefighters, Teachers, Lifeboat crews and St John's Ambulance and Prison Officers etc?

More details

Receiving free school meals or choosing to pay for them are choices parents can make, in the schools where they are provided. I believe however that this should be expanded. New financial windfalls from the Finance Industry have been welcomed as possible sources of funding for the new Hospital. Ok, but why not take that money earmarked for consultants and invest it in the health of our children and support those in our community who serve and sacrifice themselves on a daily basis for us all.
