Katy Kelleher, Food Buyer
Hampshire County Council
Over the past year we have been accessing the Catering Campus for our chefs. This has made a huge difference to the chefs as many come into Care without any previous understanding of the adaptations they need to make for our residents. This is a very unique training platform covering the basics and we have included on all our chefs Learning Pathways and their Induction. This is the first place I have found tailored training for chefs in health and social care. I would highly recommend to other Care providers.
Samantha Varnals, Learning & Development Manager
Gold Care Homes
