Parental substance misuse elearning
Added on 19/10/2011
Parental substance misuse is a massive issue that social workers encounter frequently, however one survey suggests that most have had no formal training on the issue of substance misuse.
The Social Care Institute for Excellence's (SCIE) Parental substance misuse elearning resource is 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.
