Working together to meet the needs of children of drug-misusing parents: train the trainers

Tuesday 29 January 2008
9.30am - 4.00pm
London

The National Children’s Bureau’s project on the children of drug misusing parents identified a range of practice and organisational issues key to addressing the needs of these children. Appropriate training and support for professionals is essential if the needs of children whose parents misuse drugs are to be met. This one-day course, designed for trainers, will increase participants’ own understanding of the key issues and enable them to train and update practitioners to effectively support children and their families. All participants will receive a free copy of the toolkit Adult Drug Problems, Children’s Needs: Assessing the impact of parental drug use - a toolkit for practitioners with content specifically designed for trainers.
