Abstract
Children of alcohol and substance misusers are at risk of developing a range of behavioural problems of their own. The aim of this project was to assess the extent to which workers in the field of alcohol and substance misuse problems in the Glasgow area are aware of, and feel able to address, these risk factors. The evidence reported here indicates that workers in the field are aware of potential problems. However, there is also uncertainty about appropriate responses and a desire for training to enhance skills in this area. Locally based ‘befrienders’ projects provide a model for low‐key interventions with the potential to provide valuable support and positive socialisation within a structured and safe environment.
