An Alcohol Hidden Harm Toolkit has been released to support managers, commissioners and practitioners involved in designing, assessing or improving Alcohol Hidden Harm services for children and families.
The toolkit has been funded by Comic Relief following a series of Hidden Harm projects and was based on the an evaluation of the findings. The findings identified key elements crucial to effective services including leadership, reflective practice and engagement with clients. Building on the findings, the project worked with five alcohol services to develop the toolkit.
The toolkit aims to help service providers examine their existing services in a number of ways to identify how they can make that provision better, and form an action plan to do so. It aims to enable users review services both in the design the delivery.
The toolkit itself includes a service 'health check' and a multi-component approach to assessing needs, identifying outcomes, and identifying a range of key actions and workforce areas for improving delivery. Tools and resources sections are also included.
Reports on alcohol harm and families were released by Adfam and the Children's Commissioner in 2012.
