This paper describes a ‘proof-of-concept’ pilot of the ‘Early FDAC model’. The evaluated Family Drug and Alcohol Court (FDAC) model, on which Early FDAC is based, is summarised and the rationale for introducing the pilot variation is set out. This short paper describes the learning from the pilot that set out to work with 30 families across three FDAC teams between 2015 and 2019. At the time of the pilot, there were, and remain, few other interventions in England for pregnant mothers who have already had children removed. An adaptation of the evaluated FDAC model suggested itself because of the overlap with families in public law care proceedings and emerging evidence that FDAC delivers a better experience of justice for families and professionals, better outcomes for children and families and better use of public money. Pilot families were engaged as soon as possible in the pregnancy (hence ‘Early’), and continued to receive support for up to two years. The process started in pre-proceedings with the aim of avoiding court. Where proceedings were necessary, cases were heard in an FDAC court, with provision for a post-proceedings phase. There were problems with recruitment and engagement and families had fewer ‘solvable problems’. Nevertheless, outcomes were promising, with 18 families keeping their children. This represents one-third of the referred families and almost two-thirds of the families who undertook a ‘Trial for Change’.

概念干预对由州政府驱逐孩子的怀孕母亲进行干预的概念性试验：“早期家庭毒品和酒精法院模型”

本文介绍了“早期FDAC模型”的“概念验证”试验。总结了早期FDAC所基于的评估后的家庭药物和酒精法庭（FDAC）模型，并提出了引入试验性变化的理由。这篇简短的论文描述了从试点中学到的经验，该试点旨在在2015年至2019年期间与三个FDAC团队的30个家庭一起工作。在试点时，在英格兰，针对怀孕母亲的干预措施很少而且仍然很少。删除了孩子。评估后的FDAC模型的改编本身是因为在公共法律诉讼程序中与家庭重叠而出现的，并且新出现的证据表明FDAC为家庭和专业人员提供了更好的司法经验，为儿童和家庭带来了更好的结果，以及更好地使用了公共资金。飞行员家庭要尽快怀孕（因此称为“早期”），并继续获得长达两年的支持。该过程始于诉讼前，旨在避免出庭。在需要提起诉讼的情况下，可在FDAC法院审理案件，并规定诉讼后阶段。招聘和参与方面存在问题，家庭的“可解决问题”更少。尽管如此，仍有18个家庭抚养孩子，结果令人鼓舞。这代表了三分之一的被推荐家庭，几乎三分之二的家庭进行了“变革尝试”。FDAC法院审理了案件，并规定了诉讼后阶段。招聘和参与方面存在问题，家庭的“可解决问题”更少。尽管如此，仍有18个家庭抚养孩子，结果令人鼓舞。这代表了三分之一的被推荐家庭，几乎三分之二的家庭进行了“变革尝试”。FDAC法院审理了案件，并规定了诉讼后阶段。招聘和参与方面存在问题，家庭的“可解决问题”更少。尽管如此，仍有18个家庭抚养孩子，结果令人鼓舞。这代表了三分之一的被推荐家庭，几乎三分之二的家庭进行了“变革尝试”。
