Key Documents
Other Partners Documents
 Many organisations involved in the Hackney Drug and Alcohol Action Team (DAAT) partnership have produced documents that set out their strategic objectives to tackling substance misuse and its consequences in Hackney. A range of these are available to download below.
The Metropolitan Police Service Drugs Strategy The Metropolitan Police Service Drugs Strategy 2007-10 has been developed to provide clear direction on how the police service in London intends to deliver its responsibility for tackling the problem of illicit drugs in the capital.
It focuses on enforcing legislation aimed at tackling criminality associated with drug dealing. This will be coupled with partnership work in the areas of education, diversion, prevention and problem-solving to reduce drug use. Crime & Disorder Reduction & Combating Drug Misuse Strategy The Crime and Disorder Act 1998 made it a requirement that local statutory agencies, including the police and local authorities, become responsible for the development of partnership working to reduce crime, disorder and combat drugs misuse. To achieve this Partnerships are required to produce a measure of the levels of crime in their areas and to develop a strategy for the long-term reduction of the problems. ‘A Safer Community - Working for A Safer and Cleaner Place to Live 2005/2008’ - is the statutory crime and disorder reduction and combating drugs and alcohol misuse strategy for Hackney. Some of the priorities outlined in this document include reducing youth crime, drug and alcohol misuse, anti-social behaviour, violent crime, and property crime. Children and Young People’s Plan This first Hackney Children and Young People’s Plan (CYPP) is an important element of the reforms underpinned by the Children Act 2004. Local authorities have been given a new statutory duty to lead on putting in place a single, strategic, overarching plan for all services affecting children and young people. This must be done with the range of partners subject to the new ‘duty to co-operate’ on improving the well-being of children and young people. City and Hackney Teaching Primary Care Trust Health Improvement Plan The CHtPCT works with the Hackney Drug and Alcohol Action Team and the City Drug Action Team in local Drugs/Alcohol Partnerships. The Partnership shares a strategy for tackling drugs and alcohol problems in the area, drawing on Hackney’s Reducing Substance Misuse Strategy and the City of London’s Pooled Treatment Budget. In their Health Improvement Plan they set out their achievements to date and outline details concerning how they will provide better services in primary care to improve the health of residents in Hackney and the City of London for 2006-2009 . London Probation’s Strategic Plan London Probation’s Strategic Plan 2008-2011 sets out their Vision and Mission, the strategic results they seek to achieve and their priorities for action. It also describes the new organisational culture they aim to create. The document is intended to inform staff, partner organisations, service users, and the public about their plans. It provides information on how resources will be used to deliver probation services in London and how they are working to improve those services. |
