About this session: Hannah Todman is a registered social worker with 14 years of frontline practice experience, a practice educator and workforce development manager for Stockport family children's services.
The focus of Hannah’s practice has been supporting children and families affected by a loved one’s substance misuse. Hannah’s recently completed PhD, undertaken at Manchester Metropolitan University, focuses on the experiences of children (aged 7-16) who live with parental substance misuse.
In this webinar, Hannah will present an introduction to the needs of children living with parental substance misuse. This introductory webinar will explore the risk factors that increase the risk of significant harm, as well as exploring the protective factors needed for children to reduce safeguarding concerns. Key messages for practice will be shared, including the need for creative practice methods in seeking to understand a child’s lived experience.
