3. Throughout the study you should continue with all operations as usual within the school (i.e. we are not asking you to change anything you would normally do except that we may influence how children collect and return their lunch meals if you are part of the school researcher visits).

4. You will ensure that school teachers and staff have sufficient opportunity to participate in the study (if willing) and, if part of the school researcher visits, the member of staff chosen to take part in the interview has sufficient time available during their working hours.
