Social Security Scotland has announced that changes to Best Start Foods mean that more people can access financial support to buy healthy foods during their child’s early years.
In February, they made changes to eligibility rules which meant that thousands more people in Scotland were able to apply.This extends access to non-British as well as British children, whose parent or carer has no access to public funds due to their immigration status or lack of immigration status, such as families seeking asylum.
