Hosted by Southside Partnership the DLR Drug & Alcohol Task Force, under the overall aegis of the National Drug Strategy, 2009-16, operates with the following key aims:
To gather information on local drug and alcohol issues from relevant services, organisations and other sources and to develop and maintain an up-to-date overview of these and related problems
To support a community-based focus on these issues and to develop and maintain a cross-sectoral, inter-agency response, through developing and updating strategic plans, and bringing forward proposals and making recommendations, on policies and actions needed to address these problems.
To monitor the implementation and effectiveness of actions approved and funded under action plans and to make decisions about on-ongoing and future priorities, taking account of changing needs and the availability of public funding.
