meeting and report, communication materials, an online community, a digital newsletter and a students’ fact sheet. Advisors of the Netherlands Nutrition Centre are advised to offer all implementation tools to all school. The tools chosen were created so as to be suitable for different stages of change: some schools are starting, while others are more experienced in implementing a healthier canteen. The tools can also be tailored to the context of the school and the needs of the stakeholders. For example, the content of the advisory meeting is guided by the results of the Canteen Scan and accompanying actions are formulated together.
