Parents asked for school meal voucher feedback

Wed, 12 Aug 2020

Parents who receive food shopping vouchers during the school holidays are being encouraged to take part in a survey to shape future policies.

The scheme was introduced in April, to help eligible parents and carers provide meals for their children, when schools were closed.

In July, Tynwald agreed to extend the scheme by six weeks to cover the summer holidays.

The Manx Government is now asking recipients to complete and return an anonymous survey, which they will receive with this week’s vouchers. 

A freepost envelope has been provided with the survey and participants are encouraged to respond with their personal experiences and how valuable they believe it has been.

The survey, which is also available on the Government website, closes on Monday 7 September 2020.
