Professionals & Families

Social Care

FASD Informed™ Professional: Social Worker

Many families supporting FASD experience secondary trauma; a vicarious type of trauma that impacts the whole body, as well as considering the child/young person/adult with FASD we reflect on the whole family where we signpost you to ways to help support very challenging cases where needs change rapidly.

With the publication of the NICE Quality Standards for FASD good practice tells us that all professionals who support children/young people/adults & families should be FASD informed.

Start without assumptions where the programme enables you to build up your knowledge around the demands of your role in a dip in and out basis.

Police

FASD Informed™ Professional: Criminal Justice System

How can you support change?

Considering alcohol and drugs when entering an incident where a woman is present can make a huge difference to a child's life. Even if the woman appears not to be pregnant if alcohol is always considered and then later it is found that she is is pregnant and was consuming alcohol then a child risk needs can be considered much earlier.

A recorded line of alcohol present on a PNB (Police Note Book) or ePNB (electronic Police Note Book) is enough after birth for the child's carer to have information to be signposted to FASD services, where they will ask for evidence of alcohol to provide diagnostic input to support complex cases.

FASD drastically increases a person’s risk of contact with the criminal justice system as a victim, witness, or suspect of a crime. How can language, pace and clear identification of need help support process and identify capacity of children and young people with complex needs?
