One study has found that 62 per cent of children subject to care proceedings had a substance misusing parent. The Social Care Iinstitute for Excellence (SCIE) has produced a Parental substance misuse elearningresource which is designed to support social workers when working with families where a parent or parents are misusing drugs or alcohol. The modules look at defining and recognising substance misuse, the effects on families, the health and treatment options available and relationships within families.
