ABOUT US - Worcestershire Drug and Alcohol Action Team (W:DAAT)

(Previously known as Worcestershire SMAT, please click here for a statement regarding our re-branding, and leaflets regarding the DAAT and local services)

W:DAAT covers the whole of Worcestershire and is responsible for reducing the harm of drug and alcohol misuse for individuals, families and communities within Worcestershire. Locally we have agreed 5 outcomes to work towards, and these are included within our strategy. These outcomes ensure that we meet national strategies regarding drugs and alcohol as well as a national Public Services Agreement regarding reducing the harm of illegal drugs.

W:DAAT is a partnership of agencies involved in this area including Worcestershire County Council, Community Safety Partnerships, NHS agencies such as Worcestershire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust, Police, Probation and others.

The DAAT Support Team provide a co-ordination and developmental function on behalf of W:DAAT . This team is led by a Partnership Manager, with Programme Leads for Young People’s Substance Misuse and Alcohol, an Information Manager, a Training and Development Officer, 2 Team Administrators and a Project Worker (see here for team structure).
