Mental Health Champion Training

Bristol Nights and The ​Burnt Chef Project have announced a new partnership to deliver Mental Health Champion training on the back of the success of the Thrive at Night program.

This is important because 4 out of 5 hospitality professionals report having experienced at least one mental health issue during their career (according to a recent survey). So Bristol Nights and The ​Burnt Chef Project ​have joined forces to prioritise the wellbeing of professionals in the hospitality sector, and improve access to training. 

This new Wellbeing Champion training from the Burnt Chef Project aims to help all workers in the night time sector learn some valuable skills including mental health first aid techniques.

There are lots of different training workshops coming up including:

• Wellbeing Champion training for night time workers
• Introduction to Mental Health and Wellbeing in the Workplace
• A personal approach to the Five Ways to Wellbeing
• Freelancers and Burnout
• Compassionate Leadership
• Team building, commuciation and collective decision-making

Food Hygiene – Interactive Training Experience

We are working with Bath & North East Somerset Council, the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and technology partners to test a new way of training in food hygiene.

A digital, interactive experience, the tool enables users to practically move around a kitchen, interacting with real life scenarios and helping to test food hygiene knowledge. This can help reassure food businesses that they are complying with the law, or can assist with training of staff.

This is a ‘test and learn’ project and so we would encourage as many people as possible to try this new, innovative tool and let us know what you think.

To access the platform, please email us for the password. We will only retain your email address to enable you to receive a copy of a short feedback questionnaire.
