This evaluation report is from the Size Inclusive Practice 101 webinar held in December 2023. The main objective of this webinar was to support health practitioners at both ends of the mental health
spectrum to promote size-inclusive practice in their work.

This is the evaluation report from the Size Inclusive Practice 101 webinar.

Key points:

  1. Increased understanding of how sizeism impacts women’s health: Post-session results showed a significant increase in understanding how sizeism disproportionately affects women’s health outcomes, with 95% of attendees rating their understanding as high to very high. This marked the highest improvement in knowledge, with 77% of participants selecting a “high” response.
  2. Enhanced confidence in applying size-inclusive practice: Participants reported a notable increase in confidence in applying size-inclusive practice principles. Post-session, 64% of attendees felt confident to very confident, and this confidence was largely retained at follow-up, with 60% of respondents maintaining their confidence levels.
  3. Recognition of the importance of inclusive language: Feedback highlighted the importance of using inclusive language and recognizing intersectionality in health practices. Participants appreciated the discussion on planning open spaces for people with larger bodies and the application of the Better Health Network’s toolkit.
