The Basic Cooking Skills/Healthy Eating (BaCE) programme was first proposed in Her Majesty’s Young Offender Institution (HMYOI) Polmont in 2008 as a collaborative health improvement venture between NHS Forth Valley (NHSFV) and the Scottish Prison Service (SPS). The collaboration sought to develop the programme, including its structure, content, delivery, and to use it as a social learning tool, based on existing resources and practices within the local NHS Health Board and Prison Service. By 2012, the programme was being delivered jointly from within the Independent Living Unit (ILU) in Polmont and by a NHSFV community food development worker (CFDW) and an SPS officer. BaCE had a variety of goals including the promotion of independent living skills, improving dietary knowledge and increasing health improvement capacity within HMYOI Polmont.
