Drug and alcohol partnerships

Combatting Drugs Partnership

• Works to deliver the UK Government’s 10-year drug strategy, From Harm to Hope, which focuses on three core priorities:
  • breaking the drug supply chains
  • delivering a world-class treatment
  • recovery system and achieving a shift in the demand for recreational drugs.
• Led by Oxfordshire’s Director of Public Health, Ansaf Azhar, who acts as the Senior Responsible Owner (SRO).
• The CDP brings together local government, criminal justice, health services, treatment providers and individuals with ‘lived experience’ to tackle shared challenges across Oxfordshire.
• To drive progress, Task and Finish Delivery Groups meet quarterly to take forward actions in priority areas and report progress to the CDP.
• If your service would like to join the partnership, if you have lived experience and want to contribute, or if you have any questions, please contact us at: OCDP@oxfordshire.gov.uk

Local Drug Information System (LDIS)

• Public Health coordinates the Oxfordshire LDIS.
• The LDIS is an interactive network of local professionals who may encounter high-risk illicit substances or people who use them, in their line of work.
• The LDIS aims to assess and share intelligence, issuing drug alerts where needed, to help reduce substance-related harm and death.
• For more information or if you'd like your organisation to be included in the LDIS email distribution list, please email LDIS@oxfordshire.gov.uk 

Professional Information Network (PIN)

• The Oxfordshire PIN is a subset of the LDIS and works collaboratively to ensure that adequate systems and procedures are in place for managing the risk of emerging drug threats within Oxfordshire.
• For more information or if you'd like your organisation to join, please email LDIS@oxfordshire.gov.uk
