BDA Safe Staffing

The updated ‘Safe Staffing and Safe Workload Guidance’ for the dietetic professions is available now. The original guidance document was published in 2016, and this new document has been commissioned as its successor; much has changed in the intervening eight years. This Safe Staffing Safe Workload Guidance has been designed to inform and support decision-making on safe staffing levels by BDA members, managers, organisations and commissioners. 

The document is comprehensive and as such will be available to download and access in component parts. Members can access the guidance below:
