The Hub’s legal resources cover a range of topics, including:

  • Education.

  • Disability and equality.

  • Social care.

  • Mental capacity.

  • Transition into adulthood.

  • Employment.

  • Criminal justice.

  • Legal help and templates.

​​​

Who is it for?

The Hub is intended for those affected by FASD, their families and carers, and professionals and

organisations seeking to understand FASD-related legal issues. It also welcomes interest from those working in law, the media and social justice who want to contribute to greater understanding and equal access to rights.

DISCLAIMER Every child, young person and adult with prenatal alcohol exposure, likely FASD or confirmed FASD is unique. Needs, strengths, risks, health profile, communication, adaptive functioning, family context and support requirements can vary significantly across individuals and across the lifespan. This information is therefore intended to support families and professionals in education, policy discussion and service improvement by encouraging a whole-person, whole-family and whole-system approach.

 

Assessment, planning and provision should be informed by the person’s individual profile and developed through coordinated multi-agency working across education, health, social care, safeguarding, family support, independent legal advise and, where appropriate, specialist FASD-informed clinical input.

 

PRESS ENQUIRIES For press, media or interview enquiries, please contact FASD Informed UK at: info@fasdinformed.co.uk
