- The trust/ health board has access to equipment required for detailed and more specialist nutritional assessment (callipers, etc.)
- There is a written care pathway for management of growth and nutritional difficulties in all children, including specific pathways for vulnerable groups including disabled children, looked after children and those with neurodevelopmental diversity
- Auditing compliance with growth monitoring for all children is part of trust/health board audit plan
