About the Symposium
Feeding Matters is leading an important initiative to develop ethical guidelines for feeding care, a step toward ensuring that every child and family receives fair, compassionate, and evidence-based support. As part of this effort, we are seeking input on which area should be the top priority for advancing ethical and equitable feeding care worldwide.
The Feeding Matters Alliance pillar chairs will facilitate discussions around four key initiatives that will guide the development of these global ethical guidelines: caregiver well-being and the caregiver–child relationship, equitable and culturally responsive feeding evaluations, improved access and insurance coverage for care, and the creation of shared best practices informed by research and family experience. Together, these conversations will help lay the foundation for ethical feeding care rooted in compassion, collaboration, and equity for all families.
Community Driven Change Question
Each year, we ask the community for their input to help guide the symposium. This year’s question is Feeding Matters is currently developing ethical guidelines for feeding care. Which area do you believe should be the top priority for advancing ethical and equitable feeding care globally?
