Keeping it in the family: growing up with parents who misuse alcohol
This report by Alcohol Concern and The Princess Royal Trust for Carers highlights the negative effect that parents' chronic drinking can have on children.
Children affected by their parents drinking may not always provide care for them depending on the severity of the alcohol problem, however parental alcohol misuse can cause serious problems for those children. Alcohol Concern and The Princess Royal Trust for Carers therefore call for a national strategy to support young carers of alcohol misusing parents and a national target to reduce the number of children going into statutory care as a result of parental drinking.
