Summary

 

The butchery unit standards listed above were inadvertently omitted from earlier submission of C60785. These unit standards have been reviewed to ensure they continued to be fit-for-purpose for the butchery industry and to better align these unit standards to the training requirements relating to butchery and Halal butchers. The review was carried out through regular online meetings with industry, providers, and subject matter experts whose feedback and input were considered and included.

 

Main changes

 

·     Unit standards were updated and streamlined to better reflect current industry requirements and practices.

·     Guidance information was updated.

 

The last date for assessment of superseded versions of Category B unit standards is December 2027
