These coaching sessions are aimed at food businesses primarily in the owner occupier sector where like many larger organisations it is a requirement that a documented food safety management system be in place.
We can help with coaching and workshops.
New food hygiene laws have applied in the UK since 1 January 2006. They affect all food businesses, including caterers, primary producers (such as farmers), manufacturers, distributors and retailers.
Catering businesses will need to have a food safety management system based on the principles of HACCP. They are already required to produce food that is safe to eat, but the new regulations say that catering businesses must be able to show what they do to make food safely - and have this written down.
The type of system they need will depend on the size and type of business.
Many small catering businesses will only need a simple system.
The Food Standards Agency have developed a pack called Safer Food Better Business. (SFBB) This can be adapted for most food businesses. The pack is free and in conjunction with the local authority, businesses are entitled to gain support in the form of workshops and coaching visits to help customise the system and integrate it into their businesses.
Our trainers are working in conjunction with local authorities to undertake these coaching visits and to help with the implementation of the packs.
