The National Association of Care Catering (NACC)
Focusing on the absolute importance of good nutrition and hydration as a central part of quality care, the document provides advice and information that will enable regulated residential and social care providers to give excellent nutritional care and meet the Care Quality Commission’s (CQC) Fundamental Standards, concentrating on the Key Line of Enquiry (KLOE), ‘How are people supported to drink and eat enough and maintain a balanced diet?’. Using the guidance, care providers and caterers will be supported in understanding and driving forward improvements in nutritional care to help them achieve good or outstanding CQC ratings for their service and service users. The NACC’s guidance also provides a practical resource for care services that are not covered by England’s regulatory framework.
