Fish oil study at special school
Pupils at a school for children with special educational needs are taking part in a study to see if taking fish oil supplements can improve behaviour.
The 38 boys at Eaton Hall Special School in Norwich will take the fish oil every day for six months and their behaviour will be monitored.
It is thought to be the first such trial at a special school.
The boys at the school are aged between 10 and 16 and have behavioural, social and emotional difficulties.
Lianne Quantrill, project co-ordinator at the school said, : "There is already mounting evidence to suggest that there are benefits of taking omega 3 fish oils, particularly for those with behavioural problems who may already have fatty acid deficiencies.
