 introduction to publications
|
|
 |
|
|
CWT produce evidence based reports which provide nutritional and practical guidelines to encourage eating well among specific vulnerable population groups. These reports are put together with a multi-disciplinary working group and make a number of recommendations which we think should be adopted locally and nationally to make a real difference to public health. We also produce some training materials to accompany our reports.
Our publications can be downloaded or hard copies can be purchased via Amazon.
If you are an organisation that is required to use purchase orders, please e-mail orders@cwt.org.uk detailing your requirements. Please include a scanned purchase order, contact name and billing address. Please send any queries to orders@cwt.org.uk
Although downloads are available free of cost, we encourage donations via Charity Checkout. Please click the 'Charity Checkout' button so we can continue to update and produce public health nutrition guidance
The text and tables contained in these reports can be reproduced by anyone involved in providing food as long as an acknowledgement is made to the Caroline Walker Trust. If CWT has been given permission to use information from other sources in their report, then please ensure that due acknowledgement is also given where appropriate.

Eating well at school
Dr Helen Crawley (2005)
In these guidelines, CWT and the National Heart Forum have joined forces to produce a detailed, evidenced based summary of the factors associated with eating well in school, and have updated the 1992 nutrient based standards to reflect new scientific evidence and advice.
These guidelines go further than the original 1992 publication in looking at food and drinks in school across the school day and brings the arguments for an improved school food system up to date.
These guidelines provide background information on the nutritional needs of school children and health issues for this group and provides sources of help and advice on all aspects of school food as well as clear recommendations on measures needed to ensure positive change. |

Eating well for older people and older people with dementia: Practical Guide
Helen Crawley and Erica Hocking (2011)
This report and CD Rom outline why eating good food matters for older people and makes suggestions of the types of food and amounts of food that may be appropriate for older people to meet their nutritional needs.
Example menus, meals and snacks are outlined for those who can eat well, those who may require a soft textured diet, a finger food diet or a pureed diet.
The CD Rom contains over a 100 example meals and snacks with recipes and background information.
It is hoped that this will be a useful starting point for all those who support older people and older people with dementia to eat well and the materials can be used and developed by anyone who aims to promote better health in vulnerable older people.
The free PDF version of this guide has 122 pages containing a report, colour pages and illustrations of recipes and guidelines, but ideally the content is best seen in hard copy with the accompanying CD Rom.
