Overview

The issue of food defence is becoming increasingly important within the food industry. Hence the need for a systematic approach to the identification and management of threats and vulnerabilities is accelerating and becoming incorporated into industry standards, such as BRC Food Safety Version 7.

There is currently much debate surrounding the requirements of a TACCP system for Food Defence and a Raw Material Vulnerability Assessment.

This course has been designed to give learners the knowledge and skills to conduct a TACCP (threat and vulnerability assessment) within the food processing operation, and a Raw Material Vulnerability Assessment on the raw material supply chain.

Description

This course has been designed to give learners the knowledge and skills to conduct a TACCP (threat and vulnerability assessment) within the food processing operation, and a Raw Material Vulnerability Assessment on the raw material supply chain.

This online course will take you through methodology to achieve this, to identify significant threats & vulnerabilities both in a food business and in the supply chain and establish appropriate preventative measures.

This course will explain how threat and vulnerability assessment can be applied to both raw materials and to a wider context of threats and vulnerabilities on-site and within the distribution chain.

For: This course is ideal for personnel involved in the development of TACCP and Raw Material Vulnerability Assessment Systems

Aim: To understand and successfully design a TACCP assessment in the workplace and a Raw Material Vulnerability Assessment on the supply chain.

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

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.
