Lucinda is also experienced in dealing with Fabricated or induced illness (FII) matters. FII is a rare form of child abuse which happens when a parent or carer exaggerates or deliberately causes symptoms of illness in a child. FII used to be known as "Munchausen's syndrome by proxy". If you are searching for general FII information or support, we recommend that you consult the NHS website.
