Case Study
You have a new cook joining the setting. You have been asked to line manage this person and feel that this is an opportunity to rethink the menu and provide more balanced meals, snacks and drinks.
- What guidance will you give to the new cook?
- What basic principles will you adopt in writing the menus?
- What will you tell parents, children and staff when you present the new menus?
It is rare that there is just one way to respond to a scenario or situation, so do not consider that the response you have chosen to this scenario will be judged as right or wrong. Share your scenario with a work colleague and ask them to tell you if they think you have responded appropriately. Ask them to challenge your response if necessary. You do not need to submit this task for assessment unless asked to do so by your assessor.
