Eating difficulties

Supporting young people with eating difficulties

 Eating difficulties and disorders can take many different forms. These can involve:

  • eating too much
  • eating too little
  • having strict rules around food
  • putting limitations on the types of foods you eat
  • struggling to eat enough
  • bingeing
  • worries about weight or body shape
  • eating habits or behaviours that cause problems

NHS Sussex provide information and guidance. This includes a toolkit and guidance poster. We recommend using these resources in your school or setting.

Eating difficulties, disordered eating and eating disorders

The NHS also provide the webinar below which discusses the toolkit and guidance.
