Thank you for your support.

Whilst we endeavour to meet the needs of students with special dietary requirements, we do handle all nine allergens in our food production area. Students must inform us of these at least a week prior to the workshop date if they have special dietary requirements.
Complaints
In the unlikely event that you wish to make a complaint, please talk to the tutor first, during the session. They may be able to resolve the problem. If you feel unable to do this or you feel your complaint has not been resolved, please speak to George Grange in person or call her on 01539 821210 on the day. She will be happy to discuss your concerns.
