Level 2 Food Hygiene, Food Allergy Awareness and Benedict's Law Training Package

This package has been created for those working in schools to ensure they are allergy aware, meet UK/EU food hygiene training requirements and gain knowledge on new Benedict's Law requirements.

Schools have a responsibility to ensure their staff are aware of allergies and anaphylaxis, how to recognise the signs of a reaction and respond quickly, and what their own responsibilities are under their school's allergy policy.

Benedict's Law training now sits alongside schools' existing safeguarding and health and safety duties.

At the end of this package you will able to understand what allergies are, identify key allergens, appropriately label pre-packed food, and follow food allergy guidance to keep consumers safe.

You’ll will learn about foodborne illness, food law, cross-contamination, personal hygiene, disinfect equipment, safely store and prepare food, control common pests and much more.

Finally you will gain knowledge over what Benedict's Law is, how an allergy differs from an intolerance, how spare adrenaline auto-injectors can be used, how to respond to an allergic reaction and so much more.
