FASD Informed UK

This site is designed with professionals in mind, to support a deeper exploration of the impact of prenatal alcohol exposure. 

​

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is the most severe of the neurodevelopmental disorders in terms of its far-reaching impact on functioning across the lifespan, and therefore requires a unique approach to support and better understanding.

​

As subject specialists, we blend clinical expertise with lived experience, offering a unique perspective on this complex condition.

 

We strive to raise awareness and foster effective solutions for those impacted by FASD.

​

By tuning in to the challenges through the high levels of need across the spectrum, we encourage you to extend your compassion not only to those directly affected, but also to their families and caregivers 'FASD informed' support.

​

We offer 'FASD Informed™' programmes and short courses, a tailored FASD professional consultation service and a 1:1 support for caregivers. 

 

With expert-led programmes, you will gain the knowledge and skills necessary to 'stop before you start®'  by considering the full spectrum of needs.​

​​

Upskilling the workforce with FASD training is critical to prevent the cycle of trauma and further risks to children's mental & physical health.  

​

The importance of helping families early is highlighted in national safeguarding guidance across the UK. ​
