Between March and May 2023, Adfam conducted an online survey open to all those who work in or are associated with a service providing support to families affected by drugs or alcohol in the UK. It was advertised across Adfam's website,social media platforms and publications.The aim of the survey was to get a snapshot of current practice. It does not purport to be representative of the family support sector as a whole but given the large number and geographical spread of responses, and the fact that those responses chime with the stories relayed to Adfam by family members, practitioners and sector organisations, we are confident that the report represents the views of the many people who work in the sector across the UK. Alongside the survey Adfam held online discussion events for sector organisations, practitioners and family members which further investigated people’s experiences of family support work over the last year.
