Nutritional Guidance for Children and Young People in Residential Care Settings
The Scottish Government yesterday published new nutritional guidance to help improve the health and wellbeing of children and young people in residential care settings.
It provides nutritional and practical guidance along with information and advice that will assist practitioners to support the children and young people in their care.
The guidance is available at https://www.gov.scot/publications/health-promotion-guidance-nutritional-guidance-children-young-people-residential-care-settings/pages/0/
The consultation report, Children and young people’s views and experiences of food and nutrition in residential care, that informed the guidance, is available from: www.gov.scot/
