Healthy Eating and Nutrition

Current Health and Safety regulations require that anyone involved in food handling must be appropriately trained in food safety.

This programme will help you to become more effective in many areas of your work, from understanding how to prepare a healthy diet and how nutritional values will support the people you care for.

If you are looking to enhance your career development in care, this programme will give you the opportunity to look at parts of the job you may not currently be involved with.

The programme is divided into three core modules, each concentrating on an important aspect of health eating and nutrition.

This is designed to be used as reading material to support workshop style delivery or as a flexible learning package, which you can work through at your own pace. Each module asks you to complete a number of structured questions and activities to ensure that you have absorbed the required underpinning knowledge and to provide evidence for core skills assessment.

The Activities and Assessments Workbook that is included in your learning pack contains all of these questions, as well as exercises and activities for revision to reinforce your learning.

All of these must be assessed by your Tutor/mentor.

Assessment

The Certificate of Achievement from Quality Licence Scheme is gained by successfully completing a series of assignments. Your personal tutor will review, mark and provide you with feedback on your work.

The Learner Unit Summary may be used as evidence towards Recognition of Prior Learning if you wish to progress your studies in this subject. To this end the learning outcomes of the course have been benchmarked at QLS Level 2 against level descriptors published by Ofqual, to indicate the depth of study and level of demand/complexity involved in successful completion by the learner.
