When teaching, accomplished teachers:

9.2 Apply food safety information on food labels when buying, storing and consuming food and drinks;

9.4 Recognise common allergens and demonstrate how to take preventative measures to reduce the risk of contamination and allergic reaction;

9.5 Understand the importance of good food safety and hygiene including knowing how to get ready to cook (such as having hair tied back, removing jewellery and nail varnish, thoroughly washing and drying hands before and after handling food, and wearing a clean apron);

9.6 Model exemplary practical skills and food safety and hygiene processes, including personal hygiene.

Benefits of the training

Why do we recommend that you do this course and not just a Level 2?

This training leads Level 2 Food Safety certificate but offers much more for a practising food teacher.  The course is delivered by experienced food teachers, so instead of a generic course about ‘Food Safety in Catering’ the content is delivered in the school context. It includes essential planning and teaching information, risk assessment and other documentation relating to safe working practices. It explains food hygiene and safety, personal hygiene and safety related directly to classroom practice.

Spend time with experienced colleagues to:

• Share good practice to ensure a high standard of food safety and hygiene in the classroom
• Gain confidence to work safely with pupils when delivering food activities
• Implement safe working practices, develop risk assessments and documentation.

About the Food Teachers Centre 

FOOD TEACHER CENTRE is a UK based self-help group founded by Louise T Davies in 2013 and supported by experienced associates. It provides a platform to exchange best practice, give advice and support to less experienced teachers, answering practical concerns and keeping them abreast of the latest curriculum changes. A one-stop shop for like-minded professionals who seek help and information. It is free to take part and is facilitated through a closed on-line group, safeguarding the conversations of the teaching staff.

The idea of a 'Teacher's Centre' is a response to the lack of local and national specialist support and diminishing Continuing Professional Development with the demise of local authority advisers ASTs, lead practitioners and supporting organisations.

The Centre utilises new technologies, not requiring a physical space in new times, but providing the same high quality service that our traditional teachers centres were recognised for.

The Food Teachers Centre is a place of

• creative and innovative ideas and action

• practical solutions

• learning and sharing
