Reducing the impact of Alcohol and Substance Misuse

Discussions around the blocks have highlighted alcohol abuse as an underlying issue leading to negative outcomes for local communities, including antisocial behaviour, domestic violence and abuse, health inequalities and crime. All partners are involved in some way in managing the effects of alcohol abuse and tackling the issue is a multi agency priority.

The partners intend to use the LAA as a focus for developing a joined up approach to tackling alcohol and substance misuse across the county at both strategic and operational levels.

Targets for this issue are concentrated in the Safer Communities Block but will have an impact across all blocks.
