Home Care 7: Food Hygiene

Designed exclusively for those providing care within the domiciliary setting, this title explores the vital role home carers have in making sure that they prepare food that is safe to eat. It covers the range of factors that home carers must appreciate when preparing food for service users, and aims to consider the causes and effects of food poisoning. The video also helps you to develop an understanding of how to handle, store and prepare food properly and improves awareness of the importance of good personal hygiene, including when it is essential to wash hands. Also explored is the need for working within a clean kitchen environment.
