The DAAT is working to reduce the harm that drugs cause to communities in the county, including Community Support, Drug Awareness for Community Groups and letting Cambridgeshire residents know what work is being done to tackle drugs throughout the county. The DAAT aims to get drug-misusing offenders into treatment.

Our aim is to help Young People resist drug and alcohol misuse and to achieve their full potential in society. A wide range of programmes are in existence across Cambridgeshire supporting the education, prevention and treatment needs of Young People in relation to substance misuse.

The Home Office Community Safety Partnerships Programme is designed to strengthen the ability of communities to resist drug related problems and to develop multi agency approaches to reducing availability of drug.

The Drug and Alcohol Action Teams' Joint Commissioning Group leads on work commissioning treatment services that enable people with substance misuse-related problems to overcome them and live healthy and crime-free lives.

The police lead action to disrupt the supply and availability of drugs. To assist them in this, money has been made available through the Communities Against Drugs fund, and includes spending on extra targeted operations, police time and additional CCTV cameras.

The Drug Interventions Programme (DIP) is a major new element of the Governments Drug Strategy. It aims to take advantage of the opportunities within the criminal justice system for accessing drug misusing offenders and moving them away from drug use and criminal behaviour and into treatment.
