Safeguarding Workshop - FASD Part 1: Focus on FASD

FASD training – prevention, diagnosis, and support for those affected by FASD

FASD (Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder) is a neurological condition that affects people throughout their life.  The condition is entirely preventable.

No amount of alcohol at any stage of pregnancy is safe for the baby.

A recent study in Salford gave a crude prevalence rate of 4% of the population.  People with FASD often fall through the gaps in services, particularly during transitions, and are vulnerable to homelessness and entry into the criminal justice system.  Identification and thorough psychological assessment can identify strengths and areas of difficulty, and with knowledge of that profile the affected person can thrive, and services can respond appropriately.

This training will increase your awareness and understanding of FASD, identify the causes and the long-term effects of FASD and provide you with the understanding and knowledge to support your service users.
