Substance Misuse
The SaferPeterborough partnership is
responsible for the local implementation of the National Drug
Strategy and the commissioning of local services to ensure a joined
up approach to tackling drugs in Peterborough.
The partnership is required to submit an Adult
Drug Treatment Plan to the National Treatment Agency (NTA) each
year to identify priorities for the coming financial year. It
includes actions to meet those priorities and an outlining of
targets for drug treatment performance.
The partnership is also responsible for
leading on local implementation of the National Alcohol Harm
Reduction Strategy. We are required to have an Alcohol Harm
Reduction Strategy in place to set out how it will meet local needs
in relation to alcohol, under the National Alcohol Harm Reduction
Strategy.
Peterborough’s vision is to develop a
sustainable approach to reducing the harm caused by alcohol within
the city to individuals, families and communities.
