National FASD has helped to convene a recent series of roundtable discussions involving FASD stakeholders, experts and policy makers that have been powerful experiences for all involved and transformative on a political level. We are deeply appreciative of the decades of work done by so many tireless advocates that made this moment in time possible. And we also are well aware that there is a great deal of work yet to be done on a policy level. Join with us! #SpeakYourTruth (See also the APPG section of this website.)
Nine remote meetings convened by the National FASD Experts Committee took place between December 2021 and March 2022. The 61 participants included paediatricians, psychiatrists, GPs, commissioners, public health experts, researchers and leaders from the Third Sector. Overall, 21 percent of the participants have lived experience with FASD as birth parents, adoptive parents and/ or as foster carers in addition to their relevant substantive and professional experience. (In individual meetings, typically 25% of attendees had lived experience.)
