Course description

The course also contains reference to real life cases, challenges to check the learners’ understanding throughout the course, case studies, and downloads of supplementary guidance, and a guide for paediatricians. It is suitable for those working with children and in healthcare.

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 know 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 practise to help children in this situation. This training covers a wide range of topics including:

The definition of FII, and other names by which it is known
Description of the main components of FII: induced illness and fabricated illness
The indicators of fabricated illness and induced illness
The impact of FII
Information sharing

Take the course

This online course consists of a series of pages in which an instructor will talk learners through the lesson material. Pages may include supporting pictures, graphs, animation or extra sounds to help with the learning where appropriate. Some lessons will include challenges/quizzes to help learners stay engaged and interested in the material. Lessons can be taken in any order and each lesson may be paused and resumed at any stage.
The course is self-paced so learners decide how fast or slow the training goes. There is no deadline for completion but some of our courses have a test at the end to check that learners have understood the material. If the course has a test at the end then learners are required to achieve a 75% pass mark to successfully complete the course. Once learners have passed the test they are awarded a certificate, which can either be downloaded digitally or sent as a physical copy if this option was chosen when purchasing the course.
