Executive Summary

Children depend on their family to meet their physical, psychological and social needs and their economic security and well-being. All of these can be jeopardised by parents misusing substances. Recognising the problems that parental substance misuse poses to the functioning of the child’s family, The National Drugs Strategy (Interim) 2009- 2016 underlines the need to target the child’s needs in relation to parental substance misuse.
