The Feeding Trust

Description

The Feeding Trust is a charity dedicated to improving the health and life chances of children with developmental feeding difficulties, particularly those with medical and special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The UK is making important progress in improving children’s diets through school food, Early Years programmes and national policy initiatives. However, a critical gap remains: Many children, particularly those with SEND, are not able to access or benefit from improved food provision. The Feeding Trust provides the Eating as Learning (EaL) Framework and Curriculum, an inclusive approach to teaching feeding skills through practical food education. Developed with parents, educators and healthcare professionals, EaL supports schools to build children’s feeding skills while strengthening collaboration between education, health care and families. EaL is delivered via: - School / early years training, inclusive food-based education and activities. - Parent coaching, education and community outreach. - Online resources, advice and support

Description

Our Technology Enabled Care (TEC) Service, NEW Lifeline, provides support for people living independent lives. We install equipment into people’s homes that enables them to call into our 24/7 monitoring centre when they need emergency help or extra support. We can monitor the home environment, to keep service users safe, detect a potential fall and find those at risk of wandering. We provide a safety net to our service users and peace of mind to their families. NEW Lifeline is a service provided by Redditch and Bromsgrove Councils, and although there is a subscription for self funding service users, we offer a 6 weeks free, no obligation, service when a referral is made through Refernet. This gives us time to refer the service user for a financial assessment, if appropriate, for a funded service.
