Food Safety Training

Why should I consider a food safety training?

The Food Hygiene (England) Regulations 2006 require that the proprietor of a food business must ensure that they and all employees who handle and prepare open food are instructed and/or trained in food hygiene matters to a level appropriate to their job.

Staff preparing food should be trained to the standard of the Level 2 Award in Food Safety in Catering or equivalent. This can be achieved by attending an accredited food hygiene course or through providing structured in-house training.

Who runs the courses?

Courses are run by a number of different organisations including schools, colleges, specialist training companies and Brighton & Hove City Council. We can provide details of other organisations offering Food Hygeine Training in other languages. For a list of training providers please phone the Food Safety Team on (01273) 294491.
