Children Affected by Parental Alcohol Problems (ChAPAPs) are the focus of a project funded by the EU Commission to support a strategy to protect young people and children and the unborn child from alcohol related harm across Europe. This European report forms part of this strategy in contributing to a greater understanding of the situation for ChAPAPs in all participating EU countries. This study aims to review and identify the main approaches adopted by EU Partners in addressing the issue of ChAPAPs, drawing specifically on research, policy, practice and service development. A questionnaire was sent to the 21 EU partners involved in this project in 2008, and responses were received from partners representing 18 countries. The report draws on information provided within these country reports. It looks at: the prevalence of ChAPAPs; recent research and national surveys; policy and practice development; service delivery; and the key issues facing participating countries. The report highlights that ChAPAPs do not receive the attention they deserve. It is not known how many children are involved, the full extent of the impact on their lives, and how their needs might best be met. Despite a proliferation of services and initiatives developed for them across Europe, there remain many and significant shortcomings in the policies and services designed to promote their well-being.
