Irwin Stuart Design have designed and produced an innovative games pack featuring a dog called Rory, neglected by its heavy-drinking master, which is to be used to address the harm caused by alcoholic parents to their children, commissioned by Alcohol Focus Scotland.

Launched by Fiona Hyslop, MSP, Cabinet Secretary for Education and Lifelong Learning earlier this month at Lady of Lourdes primary in Blackburn, it is hoped that adults will better understand the impact of alcohol misuse on youngsters.

"I believe that its message can support children who do unfortunately experience the unpredictable and often violent repercussions of living with alcohol abuse," the SNP politician said.

Jack Law, Chief Executive of Alcohol Focus Scotland, said "We are pleased to be working with schools and organisations in West Lothian to pilot this important resource pack".

Together with Irwin Stuart Design, Alcohol Focus Scotland worked with NHS Health Scotland and Do Be Ltd,
on the project.

Around 1500 children at nine primary schools will be involved in the Rory Learning Resource pilot, which will
last six months.

Irwin Stuart Design have recently rebranded the Business Mentoring Scotland programme, which was launched by First Minister Alec Salmond MSP, at the Clydesdale Bank Exchange in Glasgow. The re-brand, which was accompanied by an Irwin Stuart produced twelve minute film showcasing the work of the programme, marks a renewed effort to ensure the success of industry across the country.
