Review treatment of ARFID and access to NHS eating disorder services
In many cases, support from NHS eating disorder services is not given to people with ARFID. We think this support is crucial and should be mandatory. If left untreated, ARFID can be life threatening. People can miss out on education and life events, and can lack energy to do basic daily activities.

Conduct a review on the placing of under 18s on adult NHS wards
16-18 year olds are considered adults in the NHS and are often treated on adult wards. At 16, you are still a child. We think that until you are legally allowed to vote etc you should still be under children's medical care. It's wrong to force children to have to be in an adult ward.
