VQ > Wild Game Meat Hygiene
Level 2 Award in Wild Game Meat Hygiene (QCF) including endorsements in large game and small game
In line with European Union directive, new legislation came into effect on 1st January 2006 that required anyone supplying game meat to a game dealer to be a trained hunter.
The Level 2 Award in Wild Game Meat Hygiene has evolved from the original Lantra Awards Certificate. This version has been unitised and sits within the new Qualifications and Credit Framework. It has been developed to provide a mechanism by which trained hunter status can be evidenced. The qualification provides a common standard by which trained hunters are assessed therefore demonstrating their competence in this area to the satisfaction of the Food Standards Agency (FSA).
The Level 2 Award in Wild Game Meat Hygiene aims to:
- Recognise the learning and skills which have been developed through working as hunters of small and/or large game
- Develop skills which recognise the specific legislative requirements of a trained hunter i.e. knowledge and understanding of hygiene, the potential for disease in game animals and how inappropriate handling of carcases can impact aversely on human health and the measures they should take to minimise risk
