Policy Support

As part of the Munch & Move program it is encouraged that early childhood services have a written policy, procedure or guideline for nutrition, breastfeeding, physical activity and screen time.

In each policy Munch & Move has some specific statements that are recommended as best practice to include. These are the statements your Health Promotion Officer will be encouraging you to include in your service policies, procedures and guidelines.

To support services in the development of these policies see our policy checklist and policy development kits below:
