Reasonable adjustments and special learning needs:
ASTRAL INSTITUTE works to ensure that students with recognized disadvantages can access and
participate in education and training on the same basis as other students. Disadvantages may be based,
for example, upon age, cultural background, physical disability, limited or non-current industry
experience, language, numeracy or digital literacy issues.
Where pre-training interviews and assessments reveal that a student may require special support or
where, after enrolment, it is made apparent that the student requires special support, reasonable
adjustments will be made to the learning environment, training delivery, learning resources and/or
assessment tasks to accommodate the needs of the student. An adjustment is reasonable if it can
accommodate the student’s needs, while also considering factors such as the student’s views, the
potential effect of the adjustment on the student and others and the costs and benefits of making the
adjustment.

Q43 Describe three food storage techniques that should be used to minimise food spoilage,
contamination and wastage.
1. Adopt the ‘first in first out ’rule – Organise products so the newer food is placed behind
the older food to ensure you use the older products first. Make sure products are organised
well so this is obvious and communicate to employees so they are aware of the system.
2. Take stock – Perhaps have one employee in charge of checking the inventory regularly to
see what is approaching it’s ‘’use by’ date. Be flexible and adapt your menu to create specials
based on what food you should use up quickly.
3. Temperature control – To avoid food spoiling (and not to mention potentially making
customers sick) make sure your fridge and freezer are set to the correct temperature and check
regularly that thermostats are working. Cold food must be stored in the fridge 5 degrees C or
colder and frozen food in the freezer less than minus 18 degrees C (and frozen hard).
