description 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.
