Closed petition Add alternative milks to the school milk subsidy scheme
Under the School Milk Subsidy Scheme (found at https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/the-school-milk-subsidy-scheme-guidance)
The products that are free for under 5s and subsidised for primary school children include whole/semi skimmed milk yoghurt, lactose free or reduced milk and UHT milk.
More details
This is entirely discriminatory against children who cannot drink these for many reasons including health, allergies, religious and/or cultural views, dietary preferences, climate change etc. It could also be seen by the child as punishment for no fault of their own.
I call on the government to increase the subsidised list of offerings within the school milk subsidy scheme to also include alternative milk sources such as almond, coconut and oat.
