Supporting people with dysphagia and safe eating

This self-assessment helps you reflect on your confidence in supporting people with dysphagia and safe eating. It identifies learning needs and areas to discuss. It does not confirm competence and does not replace formal training, supervision, observation, employer checks, professional judgement or local policy. Dysphagia and safe eating can involve high risk. If you score 1 or 2 on any statement, treat this as a priority learning need. Follow your employer policy and speak with your manager, supervisor, designated lead or relevant clinician before carrying out related tasks independently.
