Publications > Meeting CQC Standards Factsheet
If you run a care home or work in hospitality, you already know how closely the Care Quality Commission (CQC) looks at the care you provide. What you may not know is that failing to respect a resident’s vegetarian or vegan beliefs isn’t just poor practice – it can put you in breach of regulations and even lead to enforcement action.
This factsheet explains what the CQC expects of you, why it matters, and where to find practical guidance

The CQC has made it clear: care must be person centred, respectful and responsive, which includes meeting people’s dietary needs linked to religion or philosophy.
This Factsheet will be useful for care services looking for best practice points.
