National Eating Disorders Collaboration (NEDC)
The ED Safe Principles are a set of 19 vision-statements developed by NEDC to guide how information about health, food, minds and bodies is communicated in Australia. They are designed to build safer messaging and environments across many settings (healthcare, education, media, sport, workplaces, among others) to prevent eating disorders, reduce harm, and shift culture around body image and food.
What this tool is good for:
This tool is useful for organisations, professionals, families and individuals to embed “eating-disorder safe” practices in their work or lives. It helps create consistent, safe language and environments around food, body, mind and health; reduce unintended harms from well-meaning messages or programs; support role-specific practical actions (via “how-to” guides) for front-line workers, managers, communicators and policymakers.
