Increase Funding to Support ARFID Sufferers

Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) is a little-known Eating Disorder that affects thousands of people in the UK. There is very little awareness or understanding of ARFID, which we believe is largely due to a lack of funding for training and treatment.

Sufferers and their families are too often dismissed or receive inappropriate treatment. We run a support group for ARFID sufferers and their families, and believe current support is inadequate.

The Governments should provide funding for training on ARFID for professionals such as school staff, medical staff, so that they can understand and the help sufferers need, and to increase availability of treatment for sufferers.
