You also need to support your colleagues to work in ways that recognise and respect people’s beliefs and preferences. Your work setting should be a place in which diversity and difference are acknowledged and respected this includes the choices they make about their food and drink for example choice of:
Menu
Dining table or tray
Timing
Assistance needed
Whether they want to be in other people’s company or whether they want to be alone.
A choice of food should be offered, the way it is cooked and the quality of the food provided should also be discussed, varying the times when food is provided so that people can eat when they wish rather than having to fit in with the care setting arrangements.
Knowing the food and drink that the individual likes helps to build a trusting relationship as some people do not like to eat meat because of their concern for animals, or because of their religious beliefs, for example meat from animals that have been slaughtered is called halal, meat for Sikhs must be Jhatka, while some Jewish people eat only Kosher food.
