The National Association of Care Catering (NACC) has postponed the NACC Training & Development Forum 2020 until next year.
Earlier this month, NACC announced the forum would proceed as a live event this October but it has made a U-turn due to “developing governmental Covid-19 restrictions and increasing number of regional lockdowns".
“After consulting with the East Midlands Conference Centre venue and a health and safety expert we have taken the very difficult, but sensible decision to postpone the NACC Training and Development Forum 2020 to 6-8 October 2021,” added NACC chairwoman Sue Cawthray.
The annual NACC Awards ceremony will proceed as a virtual event on Thursday 8 October.
“The NACC Awards, which are part of the Training and Development Forum, are an important NACC event and highlight the dedication, innovation and excellence within care catering,” said Cawthray.
“Given the exceptional and selfless contribution that care caterers on the front line have made throughout the pandemic, it’s incredibly important that we recognise and honour our care catering heroes this year,” she added.
