Drugs and Alcohol
Drug and Alcohol Action Team
Drug Action Teams (DAT) across England are responsible for tackling drug problems in their respective areas. They were set up to deliver the national drug strategy launched in 1998 and updated in 2002.
As the name suggests, Haringey Drug and Alcohol Action Team (DAAT) is a partnership which includes alcohol in its remit. We bring together senior representatives of Haringey Council, the London Probation Service, the Metropolitan Police Service, Barnet, Enfield & Haringey Mental Health Trust and Haringey Teaching Primary Care Trust.
Key aims
Young People: informing and supporting young people to resist alcohol and drug misuse in order to achieve their full potential in society.
Communities: protecting and informing our communities about alcohol and drug misuse.
Treatment: enabling people with alcohol and drug related problems to overcome them and live healthy and crime free lives. Please see bottom of page for Haringey's Drug and Alcohol Services Directory 2007.
Availability: reducing the availability of illegal drugs on our streets
