Embrace

Embrace is the Alcohol Concern Children, Families and Domestic Abuse Project which started in May 2008. It is funded for three years by the Big Lottery, Embrace aims to help alcohol services work more effectively with issues relating to children, families and domestic abuse through training, consultancy, information and policy and practice guidance.

Knowledge Set One: Domestic Abuse summarises the results of a survey of alcohol services conducted by Alcohol Concern in 2004, which found that less than 10% of services were working with children, families and domestic abuse but the majority said they would like to incorporate these issues into their work if they had the tools and skills to do so. To find out more please read the attached documents or visit their website at www.alcoholconcern.org.uk
