Our services are aimed for parents whose difficulties around substance misuse, domestic abuse and violence or poor mental health have crossed the threshold for entering Care Proceedings.
Referral Criteria
If you wish to discuss the possibility of referring a family to FDAC please contact the FDAC Team Manager, Saorsia Jefferson.
The Family Drug and Alcohol Court (FDAC) adopts a problem-solving therapeutic approach that aims to improve outcomes for children involved in care proceedings, by supporting parents to address their substance misuse and related problems.
The FDAC service delivers a trauma informed approach which aims to provide parents with an understanding of the problems that have put their children at risk of serious harm as well as supporting them to engage with a tailored package of interventions and support to overcome their problems within the Children’s Services and Court’s timescales.
