Drugs action and advice

Partnership

The drugs problem in London is being tackled jointly by different sectors to seek effective solutions. Individuals, communities, voluntary organisations along with the corporate and public sector, all have a part to play.

GLADA

The Met is a leading partner in the Greater London Alcohol and Drug Alliance (GLADA), which was set up by the Mayor as a strategic level partnership. Incorporating a network of organisations, it aims to improve the collective response to both alcohol and drugs problems, and to provide a mechanism to tackle London-wide priorities.

DIP

The Met is also involved in the national Drugs Intervention Programme, working with local communities to encourage drug users to participate in confidential programmes of advice, information and treatment. We work to help addicts become drug free and diverted away from crime to halt the cycle of offending. Find out more:
