Fabricated or Induced Illness (FII) is a serious child protection concern, where a caregiver exaggerates, fabricates, or induces health problems in a child. While it's essential to protect children from genuine harm, false accusations of FII can have devastating effects on innocent families. This is particularly prevalent among families with children who have special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). This article explores the impact of false FII accusations, how they can lead to further school avoidance, the repercussions of blaming parents or carers, and how professionals can support these families collaboratively.

This blog post covers school-based trauma, why it can cause school avoidance, and introduces you to our upcoming webinar on school-based trauma with our esteemed speaker, Psychotherapist Gary Lane.
