The aim of this report which is part of the NSPCC’s Impact and Evidence series, is to contribute to the evidence base of what works in preventing cruelty to children and in reducing the harm it causes when abuse does happen. The report begins by delving into the theories of change. It then continues to explain what Substance change means for children and parents and the likely outcomes of the change for children, young people and parents. “Parents emphasized the importance of involving all family members, including extended family members in the joint work to ensure that the family felt supported in achieving change that was sustained after the end of the programme.”
