About this book

Parental drug use affects children at every stage of their lives, from before birth andwell into their adult lives.

The aim of this report is to shed light on an invisible population: children and adolescents living in families where at leastone parent uses drugs. This focus on children exposed to parentaldependence on drugs and alcohol implies helping them andtheir families to overcome dependence and its consequences.Parental drug use impacts children at every stage of their lives, frombefore birth and well into their adult lives. However, until now, thissituation has received very little attention. This report looks at childrengrowing up in families affected by drug and alcohol dependence, as well as the services, programmes and practices that helpprotect childhood and ensure children's needs are met, while at thesame time addressing the needs of parents.

This project is part of the Pompidou Group's mission of integratinghuman rights into drug policy. It was proposed in response to theCouncil of Europe's invitation to the Pompidou Group Secretariat toparticipate in the Inter-Secretariat Task Force on Children's Rightsand to contribute to the discussions on the themes which shouldappear in the new Council of Europe Strategy on the Rights of theChild (2022-2027).

The contents, conclusions and recommendations presented inthe report contribute to the growing knowledge and interest inthis topic and serve as a practical reference for the identificationof promising practices and international partners. Far from beinga conclusion, this report is the first step in a joint effort to give visibilityto children of parents who use drugs and a tool to foster cooperationand dialogue that will continue in 2022 with Phase III ofthe project.
