Abstract | The COVID-19 pandemic shone a light upon the issue of food insecurity in families, with school closures (for most children) drawing concern not simply because of the impact upon pupils' education, but also due to the lack of free school meals available for children in families with low incomes (Lalli, 2021). Since the pandemic, families in the United Kingdom (UK) have been hit by the cost-of-living crisis, with increased energy bills and high inflation meaning that they are faced with higher food costs and increased costs to cook foods. Overall, the pandemic and the cost-of-living crisis have meant that more children are living in food insecure households, and increasingly, schools are responding by establishing food banks. Therefore, this research seeks to explore what impact food banks in schools have upon children, families, staff and settings. The research questions this report aims to answer are: (1) how do food banks in schools operate? (2) what are the motivations for schools to operate food banks? and (3) what are the impacts of schools offering food banks on children, families, and school staff? The report also includes a review of the existing literature on hunger, family stress, impacts on learning, and the wider use of food banks.
