Description
This project is designed to support qualifying social work programmes to deliver material on substance use in the context of specialist teaching/learning on children and families. It will be based on the views of newly qualified social workers, interviews with social work educators, as well as material collated from good practice within existing social work programmes and specialist substance use professionals. It will result in a guidance document that contains examples of teaching material and other resources as well as a commentary on how to successfully integrate more substance use teaching into the children and families curricula.
The project builds on the findings of a Home office funded study published in October 2008. An article about this report appeared in Community Care, February 2009.
