Posted By Lucy Rackliff My mum and a few of her womens institute friends have been providing teas for groups of visitors at a local stately home. What I'm concerned about is their position re health and safety. They cook the cakes and biscuits at home and take them to the site, where they are served to visitors, along with hot drinks prepared on-site. The home's management includes a fee for the teas in the price charged to visitors, and passes on a portion of the fee to the WI. The WI member who coordinates this has various catering certificates, but the rest don't. Should somebody have carried out a risk assessment? If so, who, The WI or home management (or both??) The WI members are not employees, but should they be considered to be when they are doing something like this? I should be grateful for any advice.
