Abstract

Helping children understand the harm and neglect arising from alcohol misuse is not easy. Rory is a multimedia pack that provides a resource for practitioners to do this. Whilst not specifically designed for residential child care, could it be used as a resource?
Rory is a happy dog who is neglected because his owner drinks too much. He experiences a cycle of neglect, guilt, shame and promises that are soon broken. He feels increasingly unhappy, alone and responsible for his owner’s problems. The dog next door, Felix, empathises with Rory, helping him to see he is not alone and situations can change.
