Expert-Grup offers support to parents to resolve problems with children's meals in public kindergartens in Chișinău

Automatically translated summary. The full article is available in Romanian.

The Independent Think Tank “Expert-Grup” has issued a call to parents who want to help tackle the unresolved problem of children's meals in public kindergartens in Chișinău. The centre is offering consultancy and support to parents and parents' associations, with registration open until the 30 September 2017 deadline.

Expert-Grup argues that poor meal quality can be solved only through complex, permanent efforts by both the authorities and parents, who must apply consistent and skilled pressure. Its consultancy covers forms of parental involvement, monitoring of catering services, menu planning, dialogue with the authorities on procurement, and long-term strengthening of parents' monitoring skills.

The think tank had earlier highlighted risk factors harming children's health. The topic has been discussed in the press, parent forums, the Chișinău City Hall and the Chișinău Municipal Council, and a new working group of officials and parents is being launched at City Hall. Parents can register at http://bit.do/gradinite or by writing to natalia@expert-grup.org, or calling 022 92 99 94 (Natalia Chitii), giving contact details and their sector. Registration is encouraged by 1 September.
