Who this course is for

This qualification will develop the knowledge and skills needed when working with food in health and social care and early years and childcare settings. It covers food safety requirements, contributing to and/or promoting nutrition and hydration and supporting individuals to eat and drink.

What you will learn

  • You'll understand food safety requirements in health, social care, and childcare settings.
  • You'll learn how to handle and store food safely to prevent contamination and illness.
  • You'll develop knowledge of nutrition and hydration needs for the people you support.
  • You'll learn how to contribute to and promote healthy eating and drinking.

How you will learn

Learning takes place in the classroom at Triage Northallerton. You'll be assessed through written assignments and knowledge-based tasks that relate directly to food safety practice in care and childcare settings. Assessment is ongoing throughout the course rather than through a single end exam.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Triage Northallerton will confirm anything else you need before you start.
