Joint Committee On Health
Eating Disorders: Bodywhys
Ms Harriet Parsons:
I have done training with Tusla twice this year, and I regularly do training for foster carers around eating disorders and how to manage them if they are fostering a child. I do a lot of training in care homes, because the staff there are basically the parents so they need to know how to support a young person in their care. In terms of child protection, it does not really come up in our services much.
