Dignity and Nutrition Inspection (DANI) Programme 2012
2
Types of inspections
We carry out three types of inspections:
Scheduled: these are unannounced inspections that focus on a minimum of five of the government standards, and they’re also tailored to the type of care that is provided at the service.
Responsive: these are unannounced inspections that are carried out where there are concerns about poor care.
Themed: these inspections focus on specific standards of care or care services.
3
Characteristics of themed inspections
Themed Inspection programmes Targeted to focus on specific standards of care or care services
Check standards for a clearly defined group of people using services, providers and / or regulated activities
Have the potential for influence and leverage of improvement that is wider than the individual providers included in the programme
Are an opportunity to involve key external stakeholders closely in our work via task and finish advisory groups

Review how well the dignity, nutrition and hydration needs of older people are met in NHS hospitals

Early findings (NHS)
call bells out of reach, patients and relatives not involved in decisions about care lack of appropriate support at mealtimes, lack of suitable menu choices patients identified at risk of dehydration and malnutrition not
always encouraged and supported to eat and drink insufficient numbers of staff, not always able to get bank or
agency staff at short notice limited and conflicting information between care plans and risk
assessments inaccurate fluid balance records lack of integrated records leading to inaccuracies and
inconsistencies.
17
Early findings (ASC) - privacy and dignity
Lack of interaction between staff and residents during mealtimes and at other times
Referring to people who need help with their meals as ‘feeders’
Moving or attending to people without discussion or regard to their wishes
Leaving toilet doors open when in use by residents
Lack of documented preferences for individuals or involvement in how they spend their day
Lack of activities or trips out
18
Early findings (ASC) – meeting nutritional needs
Residents not helped to make choices about what they eat
Residents all served the same food – no choice evident
Failure to provide assistance to people who needed help with their meals
People who had been identified as having lost weight not being monitored
Extended waiting times for meals which meant that some people had finished before others had started.
Use of aprons / bibs without explanation
19
Early findings (ASC) – safeguarding, staffing and records
Lack of response to requests for assistance
Lack of information about how to raise concerns
Residents saying staff too busy to help
Lack of detail in care plans – of particular concern where a risk of poor nutrition has been identified
20
Closing comments
The public puts its faith in those who run and work in care services - but sometimes care fails or presents too much risk
These themes cover the very basics of care
There must be a culture that won’t tolerate poor quality care, neglect or abuse – and encourages people to report it
The regulator can’t do it alone; providers and individuals need to be accountable and focus on quality and safety
