Regional Drug & Alcohol Task Force Community Reps

regional community The role of the RDAFT's is to research, develop, implement and monitor a co-ordinated response to illicit drug use at regional level, based on best evidence of what is effective. RDATF's bring together organisations in the statutory and voluntary sectors to work with local community and public representatives in developing local, targeted responses to illicit drug use.

Community Voices

Community voices are esential in the response to drugs. The overall objective of having Community Representatives on Drug and Alcohol Task Forces is to ensure that the work of the Task Forces is based on and informed by the reality of drug use and how it impacts on communities and, the need to identify the most appropriate, relevant and timely responses for those communities.

The network meets a number of times each year to discuss issues specific to the role of community reps.
