Welcome to PLATES
Thank you for joining our Parent group workshop; PLATES. We are a supportive parent workshop for parents and caregivers of children aged 2–6 years. The workshop is designed to help parents better understand children’s eating behaviours, mealtime challenges, and the emotional side of feeding in a practical, supportive, and non-judgemental way.
What will this Workshop entail?
PLATES will run over 6 weeks.
Each week will provide a small amount of pre-recorded material to cover the topic area theory and information. This will help guide the live session to cover the material and how this relates in a practical and applied way.
The live sessions, each lasting around 60 minutes, will include helpful information, guided discussion, reflective activities, and practical strategies for home.

What would taking part involve?
Parents who choose to take part would be asked to attend the weekly workshop sessions, complete a short questionnaire before the workshop begins and a short follow-up questionnaire at the end of the 6 weeks.
This is because the workshop forms part of accredited Stage 2 Health Psychology training and includes an evaluation of how the programme helps improve parental knowledge and confidence. All information collected will be anonymised, stored securely, and reported only at group level.
