Professional Standards

You can be confident in consulting an Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD).

• Only Dietitians who are DAA members and/or APDs are subject to a Code of Professional Conduct which is supported by a Statement of Ethical Practice.
  
  
  
• DAA has Complaints and Disciplinary Procedures which enable it to enforce the Code of Professional Conduct and enforce a range of sanctions.
  
  
  
• If you are consulting or engaging a Dietitian, for any reason, the brochure 'Consulting a dietitian? Your rights and responsibilties'  (103Kb) tells you what you should expect and what is expected of you (see below).

This brochure also outlines how you can make a complaint should that be necessary.
