Traffic Light Training and food safety – in-person

Join us for Traffic light training or Food safety and hygiene training or both.

Schools on their own cannot solve the child obesity epidemic but it cannot be resolved without them. Children and adolescents consume 19-50% of their daily energy requirements at school and spend more time there compared with any other environment outside of the home.

Since 2007, the Western Australian Department of Education has had a Healthy Food and Drink policy which uses a Traffic light system to support the supply of healthy food and drinks in schools.

Food safety and hygiene training is required training for all canteen volunteers and staff.

Join us for an interactive session to:

  • Learn all about the traffic light system – how it applies to schools and the canteen
  • Find out what’s involved in producing a great menu that is cost-effective and promotes healthy food and drinks
  • Learn what the food safety and hygiene requirements are and how to apply them in the canteen
  • Network with colleagues and enjoy a delicious, healthy lunch.
