“This is an excellent resource for anyone working with families. The useful, concise guide to types of drugs, their uses, what they look like and what symptoms they cause is something to be referred to again and again. The book also provides important reminders to encourage those working with adult substance misusers and those working with the children of drug misusing parents to work together and understand each other’s roles.”
Jane Bee, Safeguarding Children Service, Gloucestershire, UK
“All Social Workers should have a copy of this book. It has a clear layout and features useable information and practical advice, which you can dip in and out of as and when needed … Having read this book, I certainly feel better equipped and more confident in being aware of the issues that may impact people, and being able to assess them and know where and who to refer onto people who could best help them.”
Lucy Lenton, Social Worker for Adults with Learning Disabilities
“A well written and informative guide which will prove invaluable to the busy Social Worker. Easy to use and no need to read from cover to cover, just simply ‘dip’ into the chapter that is required, and I particularly like the ‘Example from Practice’ inserts.”
Catherine Rhodes, Qualification Development Officer, Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council

Louisa Saunders, BSc, DipSW, Newly Qualified Social Worker
