Information Sharing
Winner: Warwickshire Drug and Alcohol Team (DAAT)
Warwickshire DAAT worked with partners from health, local councils, probation, police, social care providers and young people services to produce a range of information that focused on prevention and harm reduction that spoke to audiences in a language that they could understand.
The team also developed a web based information system that gives young people access to drug and alcohol advice, education on safe drinking limits, information in respect of services in Warwickshire, a screening tool for self use or use by professionals.
Information is distributed to libraries, community centers - anywhere and everywhere young people are likely to pick it up. Lorna Ferguson, then lead commissioner for alcohol misuse services in Warwickshire says:
"Even the local police carry cards now so that when they take booze off young lads in the street they can give them a card with contact numbers on"
Congratulations!!
