Food law enforcement plan

Training of Food Handlers

While the Authority recognises that an adequate understanding and appreciation of food safety principles is vital to the effective management of food safety within food businesses, the provision of training is not a statutory function that the Authority has a duty to provide.
Due to other priorities, in particular the need to meet statutory inspection programmes, the Authority has chosen to promote opportunities for training offered by external providers wherever possible, and the Authority maintains a list of training providers and courses available locally, to facilitate access to training by businesses.
