In 2022-23, Australians consumed less of all major food groups including veges & milk with consumption of energy and sports drinks & chicken dishes like nuggets rising:

@Liza_R_Barbour @SGAust Fantastic opportunity - I look forward to hearing how best to support the next steps 👏🏽👏🏽

[NNN-ECEC @NnnEcec]

Wonderful research from our members @LisaVincze @irwin_cg - system approaches are critical in benchmarking expectations for ECEC food environments - including policies at a service level.

Great and bold question from @KBackholer to our panel MPs - when is Australia going to get real about giving some actual social security and income support?

Big day for ECEC reports today and the reviews of the Inclusion Support Program, the In Home Care program and Connected Beginnings all released today: https://t.co/Vb5sww96zP

[NNN-ECEC @NnnEcec]

Thank you @CRE_EPOCH we have an amazing team dedicated to system level change to facilitate quality food environments in ECEC. A priority is provision of free on the ground nutrition support for ECEC services in every Australian jurisdiction - currently only in 3 !

[CRE_EPOCH @CRE_EPOCH]

Fantastic advocacy work by the @NnnEcec launching the policy briefs on opportunities to support nutrition in early childhood education and care.

Interesting to see recognition of food price increase in the UK.

It would be great to do a follow up evaluation to see how ECEC services are going 4 years on @DrAliceGrady @HNEHealth

[NNN-ECEC @NnnEcec]

Free on the ground nutrition support is only available in Victoria, New South Wales and Tasmania - this support is critical for supporting quality in ECEC and should be a priority for other states to foster health and developmental outcomes of children aged 0-5 years.

[The Sector @TheSectortweets]

Children are being offered too much refined food in ECEC settings, and not enough providers are taking advantage of free nutrition support, Deakin research has found:

It would be great to hear more about this program - please share a link

[Mary Moloney @MaryMoloneyie]

Wow! A great day for ECEC in Limerick tomorrow as @OMEPIreland celebrates education for sustainability in ECEC, the 75th birthday of OMEP & the ESD CPD prog developed through @EUErasmusPlus @AdrijanaVJ. All, at a time when @MICEducationFac celebrates 20 years of its BA ECCE.

[NNN-ECEC @NnnEcec]

A great addition to the suite of resources for ECEC

[StartingBlocks.gov.au @StartingBlocks_]

There are a range of health issues that children can experience that require specific care practices in early childhood education and care. View our factsheet for tips on managing special health needs in ECEC: https://t.co/1Gvo1tcAR7

[NNN-ECEC @NnnEcec]

Nutrition is a foundational requirement for developmental and health outcomes - can you direct the readers to a statement which supports this and thus promotes inclusion in policy to prioritise healthy food environments in practice.

Productive day with EU-wide initiative for integrated #ECD #ECEC. Read my contribution to the #FirstYearsFirstPriority blog here: https://t.co/fufwSNFV1R @DCU @DCU_IoE @dcu_ecrc @ISSA_ECD @Eurochild_org @RTEInitiative

This is shocking. There are numerous resources to support infant feeding which can support the narrative for ECEC parents and staff - check them out https://t.co/wbdbdgGOk3
