Overview

While food is an important source of nutrition, it is also important to make sure that is a safe for consumption. Children are constantly growing and learning, and everyday tasks such as preparing for and eating a meal can be an opportunity to learn. Meals can be a good time to talk about what makes food healthy and good for the body as well as how to eat in a way that keeps them safe and well. This course will discuss food safety when working with children, how children face specific risks due to developing immune systems, and measures that can be taken to prevent foodborne illnesses.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
