Building Knowledge, Confidence and Inclusive Practice
Supporting children with feeding differences requires more than understanding nutrition or behaviour. It requires a developmental, collaborative, and child-centred approach that recognises feeding as a skill that is learned over time.
The F.E.D Foundation provides training and Continuing Professional Development (CPD) opportunities for healthcare, education, and community professionals who want to better support children and young people with feeding challenges.

Creating Better Outcomes Together
When professionals understand feeding through a developmental and participation-focused lens, they are better equipped to support children’s wellbeing, learning, and inclusion.
Together, we can help ensure every child has the opportunity to access, experience, and participate in food-related activities in ways that are meaningful to them.
