Family services Parliamentary event

By joyandrew • January 26th, 2012

Outside view of Scottish Parliament What is the extent and nature of service provision for the families of people who misuse drugs in Scotland?

This question will be addressed in a new report by the UK Drug Policy Commission (UKDPC), which will be published next month.

Parliamentary event

Scottish Families Affected by Drugs funded the Scottish element of the UK-wide research, on which the report is based. We are profiling the report and inviting discussion with a special event at the Scottish Parliament on Thursday 8 March, from 12.30 to 2.15pm.

Attendance is by invite only and there are a limited amount of places.  If you are interested in attending please do get in touch.

Have your say

Lisa Finlayson, who sat on the research steering group on behalf of Scottish Families Affected by Drugs says,

‘This important event offers an opportunity for those with an interest in family support services throughout Scotland to hear examples of best practice and gaps in provision.

‘I hope that the research presentation will stimulate discussion on how we can improve and expand upon existing family support services’.

Contributions

Nicola Singleton, Director of Policy and Research for the UKDPC will present the report.  We are delighted that Labour MSP Kezia Dugdale is sponsoring the event. Additional speakers will be announced nearer the time.

Comments are closed.
