SPOT - Eating Disorder support for Professionals
Who is SPOT for?
SPOT is an online learning resource for school professionals. It has been designed
to help support those working in a school setting to understand eating disorders
and help build confidence when speaking to pupils about mental health.
Making sure children and young people feel comfortable talking to staff about eating disorders can:
• Increase the chances of early detection
• Prevent pupils from falling through the gaps
• Ensure that support is given quickly
What can I do on SPOT?
By accessing SPOT, you will be taught how to notice the early signs of an eating disorder, talk to a
pupil exhibiting them, engage their families, and support them to seek medical assessment. We have
created the online platform to encompass different features including:
