For practitioners, judges or commissioners who are interested in starting an FDAC, guidance to setting up an FDAC is downloadable below. This details the initial steps of establishing the model and includes advice on scoping and engaging a wide variety of stakeholders.

Available also are the FDAC Service Standards, a set of key indicators by which we describe the key elements of the evaluated FDAC model.

There are also files of resources associated with project planning, governance, outcomes frameworks, data collection & reporting and example job descriptions for members of the specialist team.
