About the Family Drug and Alcohol Court
The Family Drug and Alcohol Court (FDAC) is an alternative (and, research shows, more successful) form of care proceedings, where parental substance misuse is a concern.
It is a bespoke, problem-solving, trauma-informed approach to target individual families’ complex difficulties.
Running across Bedfordshire, FDAC is the result of a partnership between:
- Central Bedfordshire Council
- Bedford Borough Council
- Luton Town Council
- Office of Police and Crime Commissioner
- Bedfordshire Integrated Care Board
The FDAC teams work is informed by multi-disciplinary expertise. The outcomes nationally and locally are significantly improved over that of standard proceedings. The service brings positive outcomes for our children, their families and wider communities.
