Food Defence Getting Started open course information:
Are all of your current Food Defence team trained in Threat assessments/Food Defence principles? BRCGS V9 has a clause 4.2.1, which states  “Where personnel are engaged in threat assessments and food defence plans, the individual or team responsible shall understand potential food defence risks at the site. This shall include knowledge of both the site and the principles of food defence. Where there is a legal requirement for specific training this shall be in place.”
This Food Defence Getting Started Open course is an ideal place to start your Food Defence journey and is aimed at those with no (or very little experience) in conducting Food Defence assessments. The course shows you how to write the assessments and how to maintain them in the future.

This course gave me the confidence in what is required to perform vulnerability assessment and to make sure the correct methodology is used. I always like to perform activities as part of a course as then I’ve got the opportunity to discuss real examples related to my industry and products manufactured. Very good course. I would recommend it to anyone who needs to perform a RM vulnerability assessment
