The Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) Community Engagement Insights Report provides an overview of targeted engagement undertaken by five community organisations: Kookiri ki Taamakimakaurau Trust, Māori Coalition for Te Iho Tātai-ā-Rongo (FASD), Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder – Care Action Network Aotearoa (FASD-CAN), Alcohol Healthwatch and the Village Collective.
The community engagement process was carefully designed to be inclusive and accessible: people took part all over New Zealand and each organisation tailored their engagement approach to reflect the cultural and social dynamics of the communities they serve.
This report honours the voices of those communities and the aspirations and priorities of the FASD community across New Zealand. This includes recommendations and insights to inform the Government’s renewed focus on FASD.
