📣Coming soon!

Join our online lunchtime community briefing on The Cost of Inaction on FASD Tuesday 25th August
12-1pm

Ahead of September’s FASD Awareness Month, this event will help you understand the key messages from the Cost of Inaction report and strengthen evidence-informed messaging for local awareness, training and advocacy. It will also equip you with resources and practical arguments to support earlier diagnosis and FASD-informed approaches across services and communities.

Hear from Sandra Butcher, Prof Raja Mukherjee MBE, Dr Patricia Jackson OBE FRCPCH and others as they explore what this means for health, education, social care and justice systems as well as for families and people with FASD themselves.
