Training for feed and food law enforcement officers
One of the Agency's commitments is to improve the safety of the nation's food. We work with local authorities to further develop their enforcement services. One area in which we are active is a continuing programme of quality update training for local authority feed and food law enforcement officers at a cost that is affordable to local authorities.
These courses have been devised for the use of feed and food law enforcement officers currently employed by local authorities only. They are not available for the general public, students or consultants.
Please note that not all courses are available UK-wide and you should contact the appropriate department for courses run in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland at the link below.
