Community Safety Partnership

Drugs and Alcohol

Drugs The Partnership’s goal is ‘to encourage local action to reduce the misuse of substances and promote a safer and healthier South Ayrshire’.

While this is an area where there is already a great deal of work being done, it is an issue which rated highly in community feedback and an issue which greatly impacts on each of the key partners and therefore merits consideration by the Partnership.

The Action Plans will complement the current work of the local Alcohol and Drug Action Team (ADAT) and voluntary agencies.

The Partnership is keen to promote a harm reduction approach based on education and access to information on substance misuse.

Partnership projects have included:

Under-age drinking – “Off Sales” project

Partnership new initiatives include:

Alcohol use in later life – “How much is too much?”
T.A.Y.P (Targeted approach to Young People)
