N2  - This book presents keynote addresses and selected papers from from the Children's Issues Centre fourth Child & Family Policy Conference, held in June 2001.     In chapter 6, "Playing Up: Maximising Children's Participation in Therapeutic Environments", Nicola Atwool describes the therapeutic work she does with children, and examines why she chooses to incorporate play in her work. She describes the function of play for children and the use of play in the therapeutic setting. She does not go into detail about child abuse and neglect, but does mention the importance of non-intrusive therapy when working with abused children and how play provides a vehicle for this type of therapy. The paper concludes with a discussion of the implications for parents, teachers and other adults.     In chapter  9, "The Addiction Environment: The Impact on Children and Young People Living in Families with Addiction Problems", Trish Gledhill examines the impact on children of living in family environments where alcohol, drug or other addictions are present. She specifically looks at the impact across key domains of their development. She identifies a lack of programmes or limited access to support and specialist services for children living in addiction environments. Her discussion looks at the factors that place children at risk and the factors existing in the home, school and community environments that provide resilience from harm. Practice and policy implications are discussed, recognising that the needs of children in these environments require input at a national policy level, a contractual level with providers, and at an intervention level with regional addiction services
