Survey into drug and alcohol training under way

Friday 22 February 2008 11:57

Social workers who qualified in 2006 or 2007 are being invited to take part in a survey on drug and alcohol training.

Dr Sarah Galvani at Warwick University is looking at whether existing training is adequate and believes social workers need better support to work with substance misusers.

Research by Galvani last year suggested training was inconsistent across social work degree courses.

To take part e-mail: subuse.survey@warwick.ac.uk.
