Children may refuse foods in an extreme way or may seem uninterested in food and lacking
appetite. The range of food that they accept may be very restricted and there may be
concerns about health and well-being. The child may dislike social situations involving food
or be uncomfortable with certain smells, textures or look of foods.
The training package is delivered FREE over one day, delivered remotely for CAMHS and
VCFSE EHWB practitioners, and contributes towards CPD with a certificate of attendance
