FASD Training

Training Session

NOFAS-UK is the leading trainer in the UK on the issue of Foetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) and Spectrum Disorder (FASD). Our training provides professionals and parents with new skills, knowledge and ideas that they can immediately apply in practice when supporting people affected by alcohol related birth defects.

NOFAS-UK provides training for schools, PCTs, foster carers, midwives, universities, social services and prison services.  NOFAS-UK produces annual national FASD conferences as well as multidisciplinary conferences with affiliated organisations. NOFAS-UK has an international Medical Advisory Panel of FASD Experts, runs a help line and support group for families affected by FASD and publishes a Family Support Newsletter.

Every FASD training session is tailored to the specific audience and organisation.  All training participants will receive a certificate of attendance and an FASD information pack.  The organisation will receive a DVD of the NOFAS-UK educational film, “A CHILD FOR LIFE”.
