Eating Disorder Guidelines Published
24/08/2010
Supported by REPs the guide is available free of charge to all FIA and ISRM members from the FIA (www.fia.org.uk) and ISRM websites. It is hoped the guide will help fitness professionals understand eating disorders and offers expert advice on how to recognise the psychological and behavioural early symptoms of the condition.
It also details recommendations on how club managers should then deal with vulnerable members who might be at risk or suffering from eating disorders. Anorexia & Bulimia Care has also launched a helpline (T: 01934 710645) and features helpful information on its website www.anorexiabulimiacare.co.uk.
“The benefits of getting active are for everyone and as such we have to be able to cater for a wider range of people than ever before. Despite this for too long we have not known how to deal with anyone suffering from or recovering from an eating disorder........................ but this is precisely what the guidance solves” David Stalker, Executive Director.
“Hopefully it will be the first step in a wider strategy to boost the skills set of our industry and open up even more doors and opportunities”.
