The number of parents being referred over drug and alcohol misuse has more than doubled since the start of the pandemic.
New figures show the average monthly number of referrals made by the NSPCC Helpline has spiked in this region.
There were on average 51 referrals to agencies in the East of England per month last year before the first lockdown, but this increased to an average of 126 referrals per month since lockdown measures were introduced at the end of March.
Referrals are made when concerns reported to the helpline considered to be serious enough to warrant further investigation.
