In line with Health and Safety practice, a Risk Assessment has been produced giving guidelines on safe working practices for all volunteers. Copies will be available for volunteers to read, however please use common sense when engaged in any activities or if in doubt speak to one of the organisers.
Food Hygiene Certificate:
If you have a current Food Hygiene/Safety certificate at Level 2 or above, please tick the box on the Volunteer Registration form. Although not essential, as those serving food will be briefed on a safe system of serving, Environmental Health would prefer that anyone handling/serving food holds a current Food Hygiene/Safety certificate.
