4. Whilst Lincolnshire County Council does not have a specific strategy for children whose parents have an alcohol dependency, we do provide a range of support to children in these circumstances including recognising they may be Young Carers. We undertake multi-agency training to raise awareness of safeguarding which includes parental substance and alcohol use, complete high quality Child and Family Assessments (Early Help Assessments and
Social Care Assessments) to assess the impact of parental alcohol use on children and consider whether these children are assuming a caring role and provide a range of interventions and support based on individual needs including Young Carer support.
