Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition with lifelong cognitive, emotional and behavioural challenges. Early identification and support can significantly improve outcomes for children with FASD, highlighting the need for social workers to have a clear understanding of the challenges associated with prognosis, the prevalence of FASD, and its complex intersections with trauma and attachment.

Learning from evidence on Parenting Through Adversity for parents of babies and children 0-10
Foundations is the national What Works Centre for Children & Families. We generate and champion the actionable evidence that improves family support services, so more vulnerable children have the foundational relationships they need to thrive in life. We know that there is often a gap between what the evidence tells us is effective and what is being commissioned for children and families locally.
