The Continuing Professional Development (CPD) accredited SRA Training programme is suitable for all staff, front and back of house, and aims to help restaurants, cafés and universities source more ethically and responsibly, become more socially responsible and reduce their impact on the environment.
SRA President and Eat Out magazine cover star, Raymond Blanc said: “If knowledge is power and sustainability is about securing our future, then the SRA’s sustainability training is a potent and essential tool for any hospitality business.”
The SRA has been developing the programme with a number of businesses from across the sector, from university caterers to large restaurant groups.
The training is available in four different modules, offering a combination of online and face-to-face learning, ranging from a fundamental introduction to sustainability through to a completely bespoke programme.
A special event will be held to launch the programme on April 9th at Brigade, the social enterprise restaurant in London Bridge, which in association with Beyond Food Foundation helps homeless people develop skills and motivation to find employment.
