Minutes:
The Board noted that in 2021 the Government introduced a 10 Year strategy to cut crime and save lives by reducing the supply and demand for drugs and delivering a high-quality treatment and recovery system – ‘From Harm to Hope’. The strategy was a whole Government approach to tackle drug related harm which is then reflected at a local level. The main points of the discussion maybe summarised as follows:
The Board noted that:
v As part of the strategy each locality is required to develop a multi-agency ‘Combating Drugs Partnership’ (CDP) that will focus on delivering the three strategic priorities as set out in ‘From Harm to Hope’ to (i) break drug supply chains; (ii) deliver a world-class treatment and recovery system; and (iii) achieve a shift in the demand for drugs. v The Combating Drugs Partnership (CDP) will provide strategic oversight of delivering the national drugs strategy at a local level and oversee the development of a Local Joints Needs Assessment, Strategic Delivery Plan, and a Local Performance Framework. It will also be responsible for providing an annual progress report to the responsible national body – the Joint Combatting Drugs Unit (JCDU). v It is proposed that the Tower Hamlets CDP is set up as a sub-group of both the Community Safety Partnership (CSP) and Health & Wellbeing Board (HWBB), with a dual reporting arrangement to ensure leadership and oversight of the cross-cutting themes of enforcement and recovery set out in ‘From Harm to Hope’.
