The AFA is a forum and resource for developing and influencing policy on alcohol and families, forging a consensus across the voluntary and statutory sectors, thus bringing an informed voice to driving change for these families. It believes that:
- Current policy does not sufficiently protect children and families from alcohol related harms
- The misuse of alcohol can have serious and detrimental effects on the health and well-being of children and families
- The negative effects of alcohol on children and families are not confined to those incurred by drinkers diagnosed as hazardous, harmful or dependent.
