THE ULTIMATE NATIONAL INDUSTRY CHARTER FOR POSITIVE CHANGE

A FOUR PILLAR APPROACH THAT SPANS INDUSTRY

✅ STUDENTS

Students have the right to select a meaningful career with employers who set out fair and just working practices, and stick to them. 

✅ COLLEGES/UNIVERSITIES

The incredible safeguarding established by colleges and universities has the potential to extend into industry with the right employers. 

✅ EMPLOYERS

Displaying the Visionary Chefs logo doesn't just influence why students should select you for their career, but is a benchmark to attract all staff to your business. At a time of pressure on staffing availability, employers need every edge.

✅ DINING PUBLIC

If the dining public are selecting where they eat based on your sustainability efforts, it won't be long before they'll be interested in how you respect the working practices of your team. 

SUPPORTING STUDENT CHEFS WITH THE RIGHT CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

Visionary Chefs - What's it all about?

At visionarychefs.com, we're focussing on new strategies to reduce mental health issues within professional kitchens. Whilst numerous charities and organisations provide invaluable support when things go wrong, we're going one step further and targeting prevention at source - colleges, universities and student chefs generally. 


To accomplish this our online database can match employers to student chefs who sign up to the Visionary Chefs Charter. We see our charter as providing best practice initiatives in preventing mental health issues.
