Fabricated Induced Illness (FII) is a rare form of child abuse that can often go unnoticed. The signs and symptoms of abuse are very widespread, which makes it difficult to identify. It’s therefore important that anyone working with children is aware of this abuse and knows what to look for if they suspect this type of abuse. This course describes the symptoms of FII and the risk factors that can lead to it, and includes case studies, guidance for practitioners. This course gives learners in-depth information on what they need to be aware of when dealing with fabricated illness and the best practices to help children in this situation.
