Sep 21, 2025
1 min read

Online Part-time Certified Degree; Edinburgh University


This programme will provide you with the skills and understanding to:

  • recognise potential cases of FASD

  • conduct a diagnostic assessment with a wider multi-disciplinary team

  • develop clinical formulations of presenting difficulties

  • provide care and treatment recommendations


You will be guided in this practice by an understanding of the context in which pre-natal alcohol exposure occurs so that you can conduct your work in a trauma-informed, non-judgemental manner, and work sensitively with families.


The programme addresses recent calls for training in FASD for Health, Education and Social Care professionals.


As the first FASD-focused university course in the UK, and one of few worldwide, this programme is designed to meet the needs of practising health and social care professionals by being accessible online and part-time.

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
