Nottingham's Alcohol Strategy aims to reduce harms
In 2004, the Government published its first programme of action to respond to the harms caused by alcohol. It was followed by a wealth of policy initiatives from the Department of Health and the Home Office Safe. Sensible. Social., published in 2007 to outline the next steps in the national strategy continued the momentum.
National policy must be enhanced by local action. Local authorities, the police, primary care trusts and criminal justice agencies are under statutory obligation to work in partnership to develop localised solutions to local alcohol-related harms.
In 2006 the Nottingham Crime and Drugs Partnership published its first alcohol strategy. And now the Nottingham Alcohol Strategy 2008/2011 reviews and builds on the progress made since 2006 and details the next steps in the local response to alcohol-related harm.
The overall aim is to reduce the harms caused by alcohol to:
- The community as a result of associated crime, disorder and antisocial behaviour, the health and well-being of those who drink harmfully
- The development and well-being of young people and families.
