East Grinstead and Mid Sussex South CVS Training Programme Jan - March 2015
East Grinstead and Mid Sussex South CVSs are pleased to offer a range of subsidised
training opportunities in 2015 for local voluntary and community groups. We have a variety
of one day and half day courses with professional trainers who work in the sector. Courses
are offered in East Grinstead and Burgess Hill and are open to all. The programme has
been funded by Sussex Community Foundation.
Prices are offered at very competitive rates and lower rates are offered to member groups
of East Grinstead or Mid-Sussex South CVS. Prices for non-members still offer very good
value for money.
Prices include all course materials and light refreshments. Please note that lunch is not
provided for the full day courses. Free parking is available at the courses run in East
Grinstead.

Keep it clean – Basic Food Safety Awareness
Date: 5 February 2015
Time: 10.00am-1.00pm (half day)
Venue: Mid-Sussex South CVS, Church Road, Burgess Hill, RH15 9AE
Training provided by McCrudden Training
Target Audience: This short course is ideal for anyone who comes into contact with or
handles food (including pre-packed foods) as part of their job. (This course is not suitable
for kitchen supervisors. Those in charge of food environments should complete the Level
3 Award in Food Safety.)
Overview: Food hygiene regulations set out the basic standards for any workers handling
food (including pre-packaged foods). The regulations require that food handling staff
should receive food hygiene training. Failing to adequately train staff has lead to a number
of organisations receiving enforcement notices, low hygiene ratings and ultimately fines.
Food hygiene training ensures your diners (and your reputation) are protected from food
poisoning and your organisation is protected from sanctions.

know that if someone needs help, they will know what to do. The content of the course is
equivalent to those provided by well known national first aid organisations and covers
topics relevant to the delegates’ workplaces. Delegates completing the course successfully
