The Department for Education have launched a consultation on the updated food standards.

A link to the consultation can be found here: https://t.co/VIFUSZfez8

Food standards are an important policy influencing oral health so BASCD will be responding to the consultation.

📢⚠️ New data shows #foodinsecurity levels are rising across the UK.

Results of the survey of 5 year olds in 2024 are published today. Still high prevalence and wide inequalities which have not reduced

📢@Food_Foundation has published its 2025 #BrokenPlate report!

In the UK healthy food options are less available and more expensive, making healthier food choices harder. We conducted 2 surveys for the report and found a similar trend⤵️

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

WHO expresses deep concern about the implications of the immediate funding pause for #HIV programmes in low- and middle-income countries.

These programmes provide access to life-saving HIV therapy to more than 30 million people worldwide.

A funding halt for HIV programmes can put people living with HIV at immediate increased risk of illness and death and undermine efforts to prevent transmission in communities and countries.
Such measures, if prolonged, could lead to rises in new infections and deaths, reversing decades of progress and potentially taking the world back to the 1980s and 1990s when millions died of HIV every year globally, including many in the United States of America.

For the global community, this could result in significant setbacks to progress in partnerships and investments in scientific advances that have been the cornerstone of good public health programming, including innovative diagnostics, affordable medicines, and community delivery models of HIV care.

We call on the Government of the United States of America to enable additional exemptions to ensure the delivery of lifesaving HIV treatment and care.

We have major opportunity to include #FreeSchoolMealsforAll in the Government's Children's Wellbeing Bill.

Ask your MP to back the amendment calling for a hot and healthy midday meal for every child in primary school?

It’s prevention in action🦷🍏🥦🥕

.@Policy_Exchange call for development of a National Dentistry Plan to guarantee essential and preventive dental services in the NHS as a basic entitlement.

Equivalent to access to a primary school place or to access to a GP.

Ministers should take note👇

He was awarded the 1998 prize in economic sciences "for his contributions to welfare economics."

Sen was born in Santiniketan, Bengal, in India and attended a school founded by another #NobelPrize laureate - Rabindranath Tagore.

[FDI World Dental Federation @fdiworlddental]

#OralHealth needs remain unmet in both high-income & low-income countries due to policy gaps. A @wef report stresses that “people pay from their own pockets for oral health services, even
in countries where general healthcare is primarily
publicly financed”. ➡️Read the report: https://t.co/orHAYDlnet
