This site is a forum for parents and patients to share their thoughts and experiences of UK Eating Disorders treatment centres.
We ask you to post comments or views that will help people understand how the centre works and it’s philosophy. 
Remember that except for the very few fortunate enough to have private health insurance,people are sent to a specific unit,it is rare for them to have a choice. 
Due to this, try to remain objective in the reviews.
Remember that people’s perception of a unit can be very different,what works for some does not work for others.If you did not like certain things about a unit,question if that was simply your perception or if it was the same for everyone.
If you are going to criticise a unit you must explain why and likewise if you want to praise a specific service,explain how it succeeded in helping you rather than just saying it was a marvellous unit!
In order to keep within the law,we will not publish the names of other patients or staff.
When you or your child are being treated by a unit there is always an independent advocate who visits regularly to talk to parents and in- patients and investigate any serious problems. 
It is therefore inappropriate for people to post serious accusations of abuse or negligence, as one would have to ask why this was not dealt with at the time using the safeguards provided.
If there are reasons why you do not bring any wrong doing to the attention of the authorities whilst you are in the unit ,you should do so immediately you leave. There is a process to address any complaints or feelings/issues of mistreatment within the UK system that cannot be addressed on this site.

Anyone posting comments must realise that they must be accountable for the statements they make,it is not a vehicle for generally criticising a unit just because it did not work for you. 
Remember that each unit is rigorously inspected twice a year and their results audited and published. Any unit which did not have an effective treatment programme would not be allowed to continue admitting patients. This does not mean you cannot post your true thoughts, just please be aware that I, as the administrator, can be held legally responsible and have to let you know that while I would like to promise complete anonymity, I cannot. However, I hope that you will continue to provide reviews from your wise mind, and they don’t have to all be “glowing”-you can still be honest, the main thing is to not mention names, etc, and the site is definitely looking to uphold a more current database. Thank you so much and I hope that people will continue contributing-as you are helping so many others.
