Parents whose difficulties around substance misuse, domestic abuse and violence or poor mental health have crossed the threshold for entering Care Proceedings.
If you wish to discuss the possibility of referring a family to FDAC please contact the FDAC Team Manager, Saorsia Jefferson.
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.
Parents are supported to address issues of substance misuse, domestic abuse, poor mental health and any other related difficulties they may face. The team work closely with the family justice system, including specially trained FDAC Judges and other community services supporting the families.
"The help from you was outstanding and I couldn’t of been the person I am today without you. Thank you for the opportunity for everything, my head wasn’t fully ready but I’ve managed to get there now."
