DAAT Audit 2004

The Crime and Disorder Act 1998 prescribes that Crime and Disorder Partnerships must conduct audits every three years, which highlights local priorities and informs them of their performance against strategy targets. This is the first time that the DAAT has produced a countywide audit of substance misuse.

The findings of this audit will inform DAAT planning for the next 3 years (2005-08). The purpose of the audit is to gather both quantitative and qualitative evidence and collate and analyse this in a comprehensive document.

The audit was researched and written by the DAAT Information Officer, working closely alongside the County Council research team. The research began with national research and various publications and Home Office papers were consulted, in order to assess the national context within which Cambridgeshire sits. Local quantitative and qualitative data was then collected from partner agencies and used to provide a picture of the situation within Cambridgeshire.
