FASD Questionnaire

The Ministry of Health is leading the Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) cross-agency plan to set the foundation for a structured approach that is evidence-based, for the prevention, early identification and organisation of existing supports for those affected by FASD. Matua Raḵi is progressing Action 6, Enhance the ability of frontline professionals to recognise and respond effectively and compassionately to people with FASD and other neurodevelopmental impairments, of the FASD Action Plan 2016-2019.

As part of this project, we would like to gather some workforce-specific information to inform training development to ensure the content is relevant and that it meets the needs of each sector. As part of the co-design process we would like to ask you for some information about your organisation.

If you have questions, please e-mail Katherine Reweti-Russell, Katherine.Reweti-Russell@matuaraki.org.nz
