Under the scheme, school staff have to first log on and input details for eligible families plus their unique school code. Then a code is emailed to parents so they can redeem this on the website and buy an e-voucher for a supermarket of their choice. Teachers say there have been delays at every stage of this process — with some families initially waiting around 10 days to receive their code.
Many supermarkets have signed up to the scheme — Aldi, Sainsbury’s, Tesco, Asda, Morrison’s, Waitrose, McColls, and Marks and Spencer — but campaigners have called for Iceland to also be included. Rabina Khan, a Liberal Democrat councillor in Shadwell, east London, said adding Iceland would make a huge difference to the poor families in her area.
The government said it was working to include more supermarkets but needed to ensure they had the technology on their tills to deal with the vouchers.
