DfE guidance can be found here. School holidays are recognised as a pressure point for some families because of increased costs (such as food and childcare) and reduced incomes. For some children that can lead to a holiday experience gap, with children from disadvantaged families: * less likely to access organised out-of-school activities * more likely to experience 'unhealthy holidays' in terms of nutrition and physical health * more likely to experience social isolation The purpose of HAF is for children and young people who attend provision to: * eat more healthily over the school holidays * be more active during the school holidays * take part in engaging and enriching activities which support the development of resilience, character, and wellbeing along with their wider educational attainment * be safe and not to be socially isolated * have a greater knowledge of health and nutrition * be more engaged with school and other local services The programme should also ensure that families participating: * develop their understanding of nutrition and food budgeting * are signposted towards other information and support, for example, health, employment, and education.
