A Level 2 Award in Food Safety in Catering delivered in the outdoors

The Level 2 Award in Food Safety in Catering delivered in the outdoors has been designed to address the food safety needs of the catering and hospitality sector but adding the additions of cooking in the open air!

As Forest School Leaders, Children’s workers, Scouts, Guides, voluntary helpers, food handlers, this training would be good for you as you have the responsibility to keep children, young people  and adults safe. The qualification is designed to give an appreciation of good hygiene practice.

There is emphasis on the 4 Cs (chilling, cooking, cleaning, contamination). Monitoring controls, corrective actions and methods of reporting are examined as part of a food safety management system. It is aimed at those of you who perform a varied food handler’s role with some guidance and supervision.

The training is run by Sarah Blake who initially established this course with Lantra Awards, but now delivers this using the nationally recognised level two qualification. A multiple - choice test will conclude at the end of the course. After successful completion candidates will receive a certificate from Qualsafe and a ‘Blake Training’ certificate, personalising the additional outdoor food safety topics covered.

The aim of the day is to combine the theory of food safety with the enjoyment of cooking lunch in the outdoors developing good practice guidelines in hopefully a fun, interactive manner. An ‘Outline of the programme’ will include:

• Importance of Food Safety in the woods incorporating HACCP

• Microbes – Where are they “lurking”?

• Illnesses linked to food and the outdoors

• Hygiene Control - Temperature control, Storage, Handling, Preparation, Cooking, Equipment ...

• Personal Hygiene

• Food Safety Control – planning a HACCP relevant to your practice.
