Charter
For Action On Eating Disorders
|
This charter provides people with
eating disorders, and their families and loved ones, with a list of
their basic rights and reasonable expectations regarding eating
disorder treatment and services. It was produced through
collaboration between the Academy for Eating Disorders
(AED) and other professional
and patient/carer organisations in 46 countries around
the world.
The content is drawn from
the results of a large web-based survey
of key stakeholders (people with eating
disorders, their families and other
carers, and eating disorder health
professionals) undertaken between
February and May 2006.
This document was written in full
knowledge that the quality and
accessibility of eating disorder
programs and services is not equal
around the world. It is hoped that the
Charter will serve as a tool to assist
people with eating disorders and their
loved ones in identifying high quality,
appropriate services and practices,
and to guide them in challenging
unhelpful, out-dated, and anti-therapeutic
practices. It is also our hope
that this Charter will provide service
planners and providers with the basic
building blocks for quality program and
service development.

The core value underlying this document
is that a partnership among people
with eating disorders, their families,
and the treating team, with rights
and responsibilities for all sides, is
imperative for any quality eating
disorder service or individual healthcare encounter.
