Please could you tell me whether the authority has raised any concerns with central government about the impact of inflation on the quality of school food in the last six months.
Devon County Council (DCC) do not hold the information on the purchases of these services as it is down to the schools to make their choices.
There is currently no consideration for DCC to subsidise schools whether maintained or academy particularly in light of the current deficit position of the Dedicated Schools Grant.
We therefore confirm that DCC have not directly raised any concerns with central government.
