Safe Food. Healthy People. Confident Care.
Food safety is a vital part of protecting health and wellbeing in care settings. Poor food handling practices can lead to illness, serious harm and regulatory action — particularly for vulnerable individuals. Our Food Safety in Health and Social Care course equips care staff with the knowledge, awareness and practical understanding needed to handle, prepare, serve and store food safely in line with legal and professional standards. This training supports organisations to protect service users, meet regulatory expectations and demonstrate good practice.
