 Don't forget to complete and return your SEND Audits by Friday 15 October. This forms part of the centrally funded, universal offer. Completion of this audit will help you to identify the children at your setting who require additional support. When completed, you should return it to eyinclusion@portsmouthcc.gov.uk. This will enable the early years inclusion team to prioritise and allocate appropriate support and guidance. Please complete for all children identified with SEND. If you have no children with SEND in your setting at this time please write 'NIL' across the audit and submit. The submission of this form assumes that parental consent has been sought and recorded to share this information. Please make sure that your parents are informed and aware that this information is being shared with and held by the early years team. Please see the SEND audit proforma, along with the revised profile of need and the Portsmouth Early Years SEND pathway.
 As part of Veg Power's ongoing mission to encourage the UK to eat more veg, they would like to make it easier for parents and carers to add more veg to children's lunchboxes. Recent research from Leeds University found that only one in five children had any vegetables or salad in their packed lunch.
To support parents, Veg Power has developed a 60 Second Lunchbox Hacks PDF for circulation to parents via schools. It features easy-to-implement ideas and tips and serves to make this task as simple as possible.
Please share the PDF with your parent community and consider uploading to your website. Veg Power would be grateful for any support so they can reach as many families as possible.
There is also a competition included with three 12-month subscriptions to The Foodini Club, the cookery and craft club, up for grabs.
