Review the use of weight in CAMHS Eating Disorder service criteria

Review the use of weight in CAMHS Eating Disorder service criteria — 8 signatures. Status: open.

Petition background

Review the use of BMI and weight when assessing people for treatment for eating disorders in CAMHS.

Additional details

We believe using weight as a way to determine whether or not someone receives treatment for an eating disorder can be very damaging as it can lead people to think they have to lose weight in order to access help and reaching medical and mental crisis.
