With a name like Educaterers, training must be top of the menu!

Trained and motivated colleagues are essential to the success of any business, and particularly important when you’re running a school catering business with hundreds of permanent staff.

Educaterers, WCC’s Local Authority Traded Company (LATC) school caterers, see their people as their most important asset and the key to their continued success.

Over 450 of their staff qualify for Level 2 Training, based upon the hours they work and their roles in school kitchens.

So Educaterers invest a lot of time and resource in the ongoing development of their staff’s skills in areas such as food safety, health & safety in the workplace and allergy awareness.

It has given Educaterers a wealth of experience when it comes to training. In 2019 alone, over 130 staff completed food safety training, more than 150 completed health & safety training and almost 170 completed allergy awareness training.

Such training means that Educaterers have skilled and motivated kitchen-based staff that can help to shape and deliver their services in schools.

In addition to this, Educaterers offer food safety training to all school staff – of particular use and importance to midday supervisors and any teachers or assistants involved in school cookery or after school clubs, for example.

This includes allergy awareness training, which highlights food safety law in the UK, the differences between intolerances and allergies, how to prevent allergen contamination and give emergency first aid.
