The third Family Drug and Alcohol Courts annual report highlights how over 2024 we have seen the development of current FDACs and the growth of important new research on its impact, including the first cost benefit analysis of these courts, which demonstrated that for very £1 spent on an FDAC team, £3.20 of net savings are returned to the tax payer, making a strong case for investment in FDAC and for its national roll out. The report also pulls together key figures on the activity and impact of these courts over 2024, and celebrates the hard work of the teams who deliver them - and, most importantly, of the families themselves.
