About
FDACs have established their significant contribution to reunifying families affected by parental substance misuse at the end of care proceedings. Their compassionate approach compared to standard care proceedings is also widely recognised. Yet there are many other pressing questions that need to be addressed. That is the purpose of this webinar. What is the economic case for FDACs? How can they be better integrated into the family justice system? Can FDACs contribute to better outcomes when domestic abuse and parental offending are involved? What are the implications for intersectoral coordination? The webinar will provide the latest information on these issues and consider what we know and what we need to know.
