News update 2010 In 2009, we completed the EU funded training programme throughout the island of Ireland on behalf of safefood for over 300 Environmental Health Officers and 170 Catering Lecturers. This followed a previous cross border pilot for CAWT and safefood in 2007 and the UK Food Standards Agency Programme in 2006-07. Feedback continues to be very positive and key improvements in allergen management have already been implemented to protect allergic people. We are now developing new courses based on this workshop package for a wide range of new clients including in-house and contract caterers, nurseries, schools and colleges. The One day open workshops are proving a great success with very positive delegate feedback from manufacturing, retail, catering, food safety and food standards professionals. Further workshops are being hosted in 2010 by the Royal Society for Public Health www.rsph.org.uk The Food Allergy Training Kits are also proving very valuable to a number of our leading clients. Some have 'off the peg' kits whilst for others we have tailored kits to fit with their current allergen management requirements. We are now developing similar materials for caterers, care staff and teachers in nurseries and schools. Please contact Hazel on +44 (0)1727 855294 for further details.
