Full Story

Researchers are to examine whether a family support programme developed in Australia can protect Scots kids and help their drug addict dads lead fulfilling family lives. Edinburgh Napier University has been awarded £320,000 to carry out the first study of the Parents under Pressure (PuP) programme to focus on fathers and their care of young children. Around 350,000 children in the UK live with a parent who has a serious drug problem, and they are often the victims of abuse and neglect. The PuP programme, which involves working with drug-using parents through home visits, has been shown to reduce drug use and improve parenting and child wellbeing.
