Parental Substance Misuse elearning 

Parental substance misuse is an issue that social workers encounter frequently but there has been a recent  survey which suggests that most have had no formal training on the issue of substance misuse.

The Social Care Institute for Excellence’s (SCIE) resource has been  designed to support social workers working with families where a parent or parents are misusing drugs or alcohol. 

"This new online training is an important step towards providing the workforce with the knowledge and skills to assess and support the needs of parents who are affected by substance misuse.  It’s vital that services work together to provide multi agency support to minimise harm to the most vulnerable young people.”
