School Food Safety Compliance


It is mandatory for all schools (Including academies and free schools) to be compliant with the requirements for School Food Regulations 2014.

Our School Meals Direct service helps you be sure of compliance and helps give your pupils and parents confidence, helping promote uptake for your school meals. 

About our School Food Safety Service

We will visit your school, at a convenient date/time for you, review your food safety management system, food hygiene practices, structure of food preparation areas, school meals standards and hazard spot for health and safety and fire issues. 

We will highlight good practice and help you to prioritise actions to be sure of compliance. This will be presented in a bespoke report that ensures non-compliant issues are suitably and sufficiently laid out for you and advise on how best to action them.

All of this is delivered in a respectful and professional manner which will take as little time as possible and aim to have little or no effect on day-to-day operations of your school.
