• Hi folks, yes - we talked about this at the ASSIST FM Committee meeting yesterday, and Rachel confirmed that she and her team have this on their workplan. Hopefully it will be there soon so we can upload recipes and menu ideas :)

• Great, Liz - if others agree perhaps we can see if a future Saffron User Group meeting could cover it.

• Hi all, Andrew Pond has offered to discuss how we can use Saffron to help us prep for the labelling and allergens changes that are coming up - do you think that's something you'd want to do? Jayne

• What an interesting thought - and one that hasn't occurred to me! Looking forward to seeing what others think, I have no idea!

• Great idea, Gerry. We're waiting to get some recipes through from Premier Foods, too. Will raise this at our Committee Meeting next week.

• Morning Julie, I think Gary had done some work on this, and I'm sure Gerry D had too. J

• Hi Jennifer, Funding is being continued into 2021/22 so we're carrying on for the foreseeable future. No end date yet, but interested to hear what others are doing.

• That is disappointing - thanks for the update. Gerry, we'll see what happens after Chris' meeting later on, then. You're right - the Saffron User Group will hopefully be able to help tackle any barriers there might be here.

• And with extension of FSM it may well be something we'll all need to consider more widely. I'll get a view from Scottish Government on this, and what the extension of FSM might mean for home schooled pupils.

• Ah, sorry Carolyn! Good question - we're not doing anything at present, but it may well be something we need to think about longer term. Is this something that's cropped up for you already?

• Hi Scott, I feel your pain! There's a Nutmeg Group Chat further down the board - it might be worth copying and pasting there as a few users will be tracking the responses, so you might get more responses there. Sorry I can't help, we moved to Saffron a few years ago, but I'm sure others are in the same position.

• Hi Carolyn, We're still providing payments to parents of children who remain at home for learning. I suspect this will be our solution for as long as it's needed, including funded holiday periods. Hope this helps!

• Hi Rick, Like Gerry, we started phasing out janitorial contractual overtime way back in 2010, and even then we only had a few still on it. We don't directly manage the janitors, but I doubt we have any - if any- still on contractual overtime. They receive a call out payment if there's an alarm call and additional hours (at overtime rate if over 37 hours) for any other work done.
