Calls for support for children growing up with alcoholic parents

Support for children growing up with alcoholic parents

Mid-Norfolk MP George Freeman is calling for stronger support for children growing up with alcoholic parents.

Freeman, whose own mother and father struggled with addiction, say alcohol dependency creates carnage that leaves children more vulnerable to mental health problems and ending up in care.

A cross-party group is pushing for better safeguarding, while the government says it's investing £1 billion into treatment services.
