Alcohol research - Alcohol guides for social workers released

ALCOHOL, DRUGS & SOCIAL WORK

Social workers are in the front line of health and social care services. Alcohol and other drug use can play a significant role in the lives of people who use services.

Service users have the right to professional social care, delivered by well-trained, well-supervised workers. Social workers should be able to intervene confidently and effectively where they encounter alcohol and drug problems.

In the past alcohol and drug problems have not been high enough on the social work agenda. However now it is recognised that core social work skills are ideally suited for work with people’s alcohol and drug use.

This pocket guide seeks to support social workers to take professional responsibility for ensuring their knowledge and skills meet the needs of service users with alcohol and drug problems”
