regards to food and drink taken into

with ARFID to provide first line advice

Updated our online CPD
accredited training course|| |---|---|---|---|---| ‘Introduction to ARFID’ for healthcare professionals in partnership with the University of Winchester with the most up-to-date research. Continued involvement in the British Dietetics’ Association’s publication of a Position on ARFID raising awareness among the medical community and enhancing the experience of those seeking support via dieticians within the UK for ARFID. Helped with the editing and finalisation, as well as launch of ‘Luka & The Food Cloud’ - a children’s picture book about ARFID commissioned by Helen Coultard at DeMontfort University. The book is available on Amazon and is intended to be used to help facilitate discussions about ARFID with children in order to help them feel less isolated and confused about why they are the way that they are. Finalised and launched two ARFID Booklets for educational settings - “For Early Years” and “For Schools” commissioned by the Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board (LSCIC). LSCIC are allowing us to distribute the booklets to schools nationally to assist teachers, school staff and pupils as well as their families. Accepted the resignation of one of our Board of Trustees and welcomed another who also took on the responsibility of Treasurer. ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against
