YOUNGSTERS at Cockerton Primary School in Darlington have been getting set for National Food Safety Week as they learned about the importance of washing hands before handling food.
The schools' campaign will form part of the special week which starts on Monday when the council's environmental health team also aims to raise awareness on the prevention of food poisoning.
One of the highlights will be a barbecue at the farmers' market in the market place next Friday from 11.30-1.30.
Organised in conjunction with Darlington College of Technology's school of catering, there will be free barbecued food provided by stallholders, along with leaflets and advice on food safety.
