OPEN LETTERS

This page brings together open letters we have sent to government and policymakers through Dump the Scales work as a Community Interest Company, and in our role as secretariat to the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Eating Disorders.

 

These letters reflect our ongoing work to centre lived experience, share evidence, and push for systemic change in eating disorder policy, services, education, awareness and support. They are part of a wider, ongoing conversation with decision-makers about what needs to change, and why it matters to the people affected.

 

This page is still growing. We’ll be adding more of our previous open letters over time so everything can be found in one place.

Our Education System is Failing Young People With Eating Disorders

Young people are not being supported early enough. Prevention and adequate support is being neglected. And lives are being put at risk as a result.

 

We urge the Government to act now to protect students, support staff, and build an education system that no longer contributes to this growing crisis, but actively works to prevent eating disorders and support young people living with them.
