About us
The Family Drug and Alcohol Court (FDAC) is a specialist, therapeutic alternative to the traditional family court system in the UK, designed for parents whose children are subject to care proceedings. Rather than focusing solely on legal determinations, FDAC places intensive support and problem-solving at the heart of the court process, aiming to address the underlying issues that put children at risk and helping families to make meaningful, sustainable change. At the core of FDAC is the belief that parents can change when they are supported effectively, and that children’s best interests are served when families have every reasonable chance to stay together safely.
