Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome & Foetal Alcohol Spectrum

SCTS was set up with the clear mission of empowering social care workers and carers with the techniques to support young people to resolve the effects of childhood trauma, reclaim their future and fully reintegrate back into society.

One of the issues we face is Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) – the most common, preventable non-genetic cause of learning disabilities in the UK. Yet as this excellent article describes, this condition is still greatly misunderstood.

The article gives an incredibly comprehensive understanding from the perspective of both the child and their carer.

A parent in this article comments:

We struggle with every aspect of parenting our son. Including trying to get the people who work with him to understand it is brain damage, not willful bad behaviour.”

You can read the full article HERE.

We offer training on this subject to demystify the conditions and explore strategies to support the child. Full details can be found HERE.

We seek to inform and give the best possible strategies to nurture the development of children with this disorder.

Empowering Safety: Bespoke Safeguarding & Child Protection Training

Why Choose Bespoke Training?

Generic training can leave staff feeling unprepared for the real-life scenarios they face. Our tailored approach ensures the content, delivery method, and case studies are directly relevant to your sector (e.g., education, healthcare, sport, charity, corporate), your local policies, and the specific vulnerabilities and risks present in your community.

Our Specialised Training Pillars

We design engaging, practical, and compliant training across three core areas:

  • For Professionals Working with Children (Child Protection): Focuses on recognising the signs of abuse and neglect, statutory guidance (e.g., Working Together to Safeguard Children), robust reporting procedures, and the creation of a safe, child-focused culture.
  • For Professionals Working with Adults (Adult Safeguarding): Focuses on the principles of the Care Act, understanding different types of harm, promoting wellbeing, Mental Capacity Act (MCA) considerations, and ensuring person-led safeguarding responses.
  • Blended Cohorts (Safeguarding for All Ages): Ideal for organisations whose staff or volunteers interact with both children and adults (e.g., community centres, housing associations, religious organisations). This training highlights the common principles of good practice while clearly delineating the different legal frameworks, signs of harm, and reporting routes for each demographic.

Invest in training that transforms knowledge into action. Equip your team with the confidence and competence to protect those in your care proactively.
