Eating Disorder Awareness

Eating disorders involve more than food and can affect people in different ways. Build understanding that helps staff recognise concerns, approach conversations sensitively and offer respectful support, while avoiding assumptions about appearance, motivation or what recovery should look like.

Consider the effect of language, relationships and everyday routines on the person's experience. Practical reflection focuses on listening, maintaining appropriate boundaries and following agreed support arrangements, helping staff know when to share concerns and involve the professionals responsible for assessment and treatment.
