About SNAPY

It is estimated that at least 65,000 children in Scotland are living with the effects of parental alcohol misuse. Two reports, the Scottish Executive’s Hidden Harm – Next Steps and Have We Got Our Priorities Right?, a Think Tank report published by the Aberlour Childcare Trust, identified that improved, earlier identification, better multi/inter-agency working and better informed practitioners will be key to improving these children’s lives.

The SNAPY project supports a network of practitioners working with children and families affected by harmful drinking. SNAPY shares good practice and seeks to influence policy to protect children and young people from alcohol-related harm.

SNAPY’s reference group has representatives from:
