Eating Disorders in Children and Young People
Delivered by Veema, this online interactive course consists of two 90-minute sessions and explores abnormal eating habits among young people. This course will run over two sessions, 12 and 14 March, 2024 and will be offered in two time zones, 8.30-10.00 GMT (UTC) or 13.30-15.00 GMT (UTC).
Description
Eating disorders are mental conditions characterised by abnormal eating habits that harm a person's physical and mental health. These conditions have become more prevalent among young people in recent years. In this course, we will consider how school staff can use their professional curiosity to spot these issues' signs and indicators - both online and offline.

Presenter
Beth Davies:
Beth has a passion for demystifying safeguarding, believing firmly that confidence is the key to genuinely embedding that ‘golden thread’ of safeguarding throughout education. She believes in empowering everyone, uniquely placed in their role across education and childcare, to recognise that they play a valuable role in safeguarding children. To achieve this, she helps take the sting out of protecting, reminding professionals of why they initially chose to work with children. Having counselling training combined with a wealth of on-the-ground experience working with at-risk groups, Beth brings a down-to-earth and empathic approach to training. From creating and leading empowerment workshops for young victims of exploitation in rural Kenya to supporting looked-after children involved in exploitation across the West Midlands in the UK, Beth is passionate about supporting young people to thrive using creative methods. Having a wealth of knowledge about Online Safety and developing trends that can place young people at risk, she helps teachers to navigate the interwoven worlds of online and offline threats.
Beth supports and trains a wide range of education providers, including special needs schools and multi-academy trusts, and thoroughly relishes the opportunity to encourage and empower those working hard to keep children safe. Despite working within education for several years, Beth finds that her previous roles in the charity sector help her have a holistic approach to safeguarding. Having experience working within addiction recovery, anti-human trafficking and advocacy for refugees, she is passionate about the impact and lifelong rewards that come with Early Intervention.
