Substance Misuse Strategy

This strategy builds upon a range of excellent work that has been undertaken by partners locally. It outlines actions across the life course (that is, from before birth through to older age), with a particular focus on prevention and protecting children and vulnerable groups from alcohol and drug related harm. We recognise that some people will have established issues with substance misuse and for these people our focus will be on recovery, allowing people to maximise their potential and make a positive contribution to society.
