On 1^st October 2010 the Health and Social Care Act 2008 came into force for adult social care providers, including care homes and domiciliary care services.  There are increased penalties for failure to comply with the Regulations, for example, in cases of neglect, including prosecution, fines of up to £50,000 and cancellation of registration.

Under Regulation 14 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2010, where food and hydration are provided as part of the regulated activity, the registered person must ensure that service users are protected from the risks of inadequate nutrition and dehydration.

To help you to meet your legal requirement to protect service users from malnutrition and dehydration, we have developed:

With this straightforward electronic document pack, you will be able to:

• Understand what to do if a service user is admitted with malnutrition and dehydration using our factsheets on how to recognise signs of malnutrition and dehydration; form for recording dietary requirements assessment; and dietary requirements risk assessment.
• Understand the practical and ethical issues relating to artificial feeding with our factsheet on artificial nutrition and hydration, including guidance on mental capacity and consent.
• Avoid food poisoning from food prepared on the premises with our record for daily kitchen checks, factsheet on food poisoning, and checklist on food storage and handling.
• Educate staff on issues relating to food and nutrition with our PowerPoint training presentation on nutritional care.
