Annual Conference 2026: Food & what to expect

Lunch menu for both days
Allergens & accommodations
Taking into account feedback from last year’s conference delegates and contributors, we have also listened to Changing Our World and MRMS Young Advisors to create an inclusive menu, including simpler foods (i.e. plain sandwiches, chips) for those who need it. If you have alerted us to dietary needs in advance we have also worked the majority of needs into the standard menu. If you have concerns on the day please find a member of Children in Scotland’s staff and we will work with the venue to answer your questions.
