FOETAL ALCOHOL SPECTRUM DISORDER (FASD) COURSE

The Foetal Alcohol Syndrome Disorder & The Criminal Justice Systems – Level 3 Course is designed to increase recognition of the predisposition to criminal behaviour of an individual with FASD.

The course will therefore be beneficial to professionals and families alike and will help them to develop increased understanding of the issues and the possible responses and interventions.

This course assumes prior knowledge of FASD together with the primary and secondary disabilities caused by FASD. We will use only the term FASD throughout this course, but the student should also consider ARND and ARBD as being associated problems. Between these three terms there will be a range of effects including physical, mental, behavioural and learning difficulties, the majority of which will have lifelong implications to the individual.

The course covers the secondary behaviours associated with FASD which may cause the individual to be more likely to break the law more frequently than someone unaffected by FASD.

Assisting an individual with FASD through the court and trial procedures and understanding the requirements that need to be in place for the successful management of FASD within the court system.

On successful completion of the course you will receive a recognised level 3 award (Comparable to working at A Level or NVQ Level 3).

The course aims to:

  • Provide a nationally accredited certificated course covering a wide range of issues associated with alcohol use during pregnancy and the predisposition to criminal behaviour of an individual with FASD.
  • Provide a flexible learning opportunity that is accessible to a wide range of learners.
  • Provide the student with knowledge and understanding that can be applied by those who either personally, voluntary or professionally have a special interest in this field.
  • Specific objectives are listed as Learning Outcomes at the start of each of the three Units of the course.

These Learning Outcomes cover areas related to:

  • How FASD lends itself to a predisposition of criminal behaviour.
  • How to assist an individual with FASD through the court and trial procedures.
  • Understand the requirements that need to be in place for the successful management of FASD within the court system.

The Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder Course covers the following Units:-

  • Unit 1: FASD – A Predisposition to Criminal Behaviour
  • Unit 2: Assisting an individual with FASD through the legal process
  • Unit 3: Management of FASD within the Criminal Justice System

Pre-Requisites:

There are no particular entry requirements.

Course Duration & Support:

You will be provided with comprehensive materials designed to provide you with everything required to complete your course of study. You will have your own dedicated tutor who will guide you through your course work and answer any questions you may have.

Assessment:

When you have completed the course, your tutor needs to verify that you have worked through all parts of the Workbook and completed all of the Activities and Self-Assessments successfully. The completion certificate at the end of the workbook must also be signed and dated by your tutor.

Upon verification of the workbook activities, Self-Assessment questions and assignments, a recognised certificate will be awarded by an Awarding Body as confirmation that your written work has met all of the learning outcomes and assessment criteria for the course.
 
Qualification:
