Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder - how to support affected children

Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is an incurable lifelong condition arising from brain damage caused by maternal alcohol consumption during pregnancy. The effects may include physical, mental, behavioural and learning disabilities. However, if diagnosed, the right strategies can transform the lives of those affected.

This new Guardian Social Care Network half-day seminar in association with TACT Fostering and Adoption will explain the condition and show what can be done to help.

What you will learn:

  • The impact of alcohol use during pregnancy
  • Knowledge of the long term consequences of FASD
  • How to identify those who could be affected
  • How FASD is diagnosed
  • The strategies that can help those affected
  • Awareness of support needs for families and carers
  • Practical advice on managing behaviour

Who should attend:

  • Foster carers, adoptive parents, kinship carers
  • Social workers
  • Youth workers
  • Education and health professionals
  • Lawyers working in care proceedings
  • Adoption and fostering panel members
  • Anyone else working in children’s services.

Seminar leader:

Jacqui Le Vaillant, project manager for TACT Fostering & Adoption Foetally Affected Children's Services
