June 2012 1. BACKGROUND The South Ayrshire Alcohol and Drug Partnership (ADP) was formed in August 2009 following the launch of A New Framework for Local Partnerships on Alcohol and Drugs (April 2009) by the Scottish Government, NHS and CoSLA. The ADP is a Thematic Group within the South Ayrshire Community Planning Partnership (CPP) structure and reports directly to the CPP (see Section 5 Governance & Performance Management). The principle responsibilities of the ADP are: The development and implementation a comprehensive evidence-based alcohol and drugs strategy The development of an Action Plan and Outcomes Framework to monitor progress and outcomes of the strategy The performance management and governance of the ADP in line with CPP Board governance arrangements To report on performance of the ADP to the CPP Board To ensure good financial management To influence the development of the Single Outcome Agreement (SOA) in relation to alcohol and drugs. The ADP has representatives from a wide range of partner organisations including: South Ayrshire Council o Housing and Community Care o Children & Families Services o Contracts & Commissioning o Community Safety o Licensing NHS Ayrshire & Arran o Mental Health Directorate o Addiction Services o Public Health Department o Pharmacy o Primary Care Strathclyde Police Service HMP Kilmarnock Criminal Justice Social Work Partnership South West Scotland Community Justice Authority Strathclyde Fire & Rescue Jobcentre Plus 3rd Sector Services Service User representation The ADP Delivery Plan 2012-15 has been developed and agreed by the partners of the ADP.

INTRODUCTION South Ayrshire‟s Alcohol and Drug Partnership (ADP) has developed an ambitious four year strategy (2011–2015)1 aimed at working with individuals and local communities to identify their strengths and assets to ultimately reduce the impact of alcohol and drug misuse on individuals, families and communities. The strategy provides an assessment of local needs and identifies key outcomes relating to drugs and alcohol misuse, their place within the wider framework of priority outcomes contained within Single Outcome Agreements (SOAs) and how their achievement will be measured. The views of individuals, families, local communities and partner organisations were an essential part of the strategy development. A range of consultation activities were embedded from the outset and the views gathered were incorporated into the strategy. The strategy has been written for the people of South Ayrshire and continuous consultation and feedback will be an essential part of the delivery of the strategy. South Ayrshire‟s local strategy takes a whole population approach to tackling substance misuse. For alcohol use this requires a shift away from a marginal approach which targets only those drinking at harmful levels to focusing more upstream at reducing average population consumption, as described in Changing Scotland’s Relationship with Alcohol: A Framework for Action (2009)2. In relation to drug misuse, the whole population approach requires working with our partners to ensure our communities are supportive of recovery. In addition to this, the Road to Recovery (2008)3 recognised that everyone in Scotland should be aware of the consequences of drugs so that no one in Scotland uses drugs in ignorance. South Ayrshire‟s Alcohol and Drug strategy recognises that factors such as socioeconomic circumstances and other existing lifestyle risk factors and health conditions, have a role to play in determining the harm resulting from alcohol and drug misuse. This strategy has been considered in the context of national and local strategies which are focused on addressing these issues. It is also important to recognise that the degree to which South Ayrshire is successful in effectively tackling alcohol and drug misuse locally will be dependent on the implementation of the national alcohol and drug strategies, such as the introduction of a minimum per unit price for alcohol. We recognise the significant amount of good work that has been undertaken by a wide range of partner agencies and community groups and we intend to continue to develop our partnerships and put the needs of local communities at the heart of delivering this strategy. The ADP recognised its joint responsibility with both the Child Protection Committee (CPC) and the Adult Protection Committee (APC) to protect children and young people and vulnerable adults. The ADP, CPC and APC have developed joint commitment statements to demonstrate this shared responsibility. 1 South Ayrshire Alcohol and Drug Strategy (2011-2015) www.south-ayrshire.gov.uk/adp Changing Scotland‟s Relationship with Alcohol: A Framework for Action (Scottish Government, 2009) http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Publications/2009/03/04144703/0 3 The Road to Recovery: A New Approach to Tackling Scotland‟s Drug Problem (Scottish Government, 2008) http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Publications/2008/05/22161610/0 2 Page 3 of 28 3. DELIVERING THE STRATEGY The overarching vision for South Ayrshire‟s Alcohol and Drug Strategy is that: The population of South Ayrshire are able to build on their strengths to reduce alcohol and drug misuse to the benefit of individuals, families and communities. The ADP recognises the strengths, assets and capabilities of every individual and the feeling of being valued and connected when these skills are used. The partnership is committed to taking an asset-based approach within the strategy, both on an individual and communitybased approach. By working with local residents to identify strengths and assets rather than focusing on deficiencies, the partnership hopes to empower the community to implement a sustainable community project to give the feeling of achievement whilst improving the local community. Our strategy identifies key priorities to be addressed within South Ayrshire, following the assessment of need and local consultation. The ADP utilised local information to develop five priority workstreams which will contribute to achieving the overarching vision: A whole population approach to prevention and education Enforcement, availability and safer environments Children and families affected by others‟ substance misuse Developing a Recovery Orientated System of Care Communication, engagement and workforce development. Figure 1 shows South Ayrshire‟s Outcomes triangle detailing the high level and intermediate outcomes the ADP is working towards and links to both the National Outcomes and ADP National Core Outcomes. Topic specific ADP Sub Groups have been established which have wide partner and service user representation and an agreed Terms of Reference. The ADP Sub Groups have developed Implementation Plans to support the delivery of the strategy detailing key actions, who will deliver them and by when . The Implementation Plans are reviewed and updated on an annual basis to ensure that the actions continue to meet the needs of the local community. Section 3.1 – 3.5 provides an overview of each workstream area, highlighting some of the key achievements for 2011/12 and actions to be taken forward during 2012/13. Page 4 of 28 Figure 1: South Ayrshire’s Alcohol and Drug Outcomes Triangle Page 5 of 28 3.1 A whole population approach to prevention and education Prevention and Education in the context of a whole population approach is primarily concerned with reducing supply and demand and minimising the harm associated with alcohol and drugs. Elements of this whole population approach to prevention and education are threaded through the themes of the strategy. Key outcomes the ADP aims to achieve during 2012-15 are: People are healthier and experience fewer risks as a result of alcohol and drug use Fewer adults and children are drinking or using drugs at levels or patterns that are damaging to themselves or others Fewer women are drinking or taking drugs during pregnancy Reduced number of fire related casualties/deaths and dwelling fires linked to alcohol and drugs Key achievements during 2011/12: Mapping exercise to identify current substance misuse education delivered in secondary schools. Exceeded HEAT Alcohol Brief Intervention (ABI) targets in priority settings Continued roll-out of fire awareness training to staff working with people affected by substance misuse. Continued roll-out of Positive Attitudes to Alcohol - Peer Education project in Secondary Schools. Key actions for 2012/13: Undertake a pilot community engagement project using an asset-based approach Continue the delivery of ABI‟s in priority settings whilst also rolling out ABI‟s in nonpriority settings Review findings of substance misuse mapping exercise in secondary schools and make recommendations to standardise core elements of substance misuse education Develop and roll out local training pack in relation to legal highs Continue to provide education and interventions to vulnerable groups to minimise the risk of fire death or injury for the people in South Ayrshire Figure 2 details the Intermediate and Short-Term Outcomes ADP are working towards in relation to a whole population approach to prevention and education for 2012-2015. 3.2 Enforcement, availability and safer environments South Ayrshire has one of the lowest crime rates in Scotland however the ADP recognises the significant links between alcohol and drug misuse and offending behaviour. Our approach in South Ayrshire aims to ensure that communities are safe and feel safe. We will continue to work with local partners to reduce availability of alcohol and illicit drugs, reduce antisocial behaviour and support individuals to recovery from substance misuse. Key outcomes the ADP aims to achieve during 2012-15 are: People live in positive, health-promoting local environments where alcohol and drugs are less readily available Communities and individuals are safe from alcohol and drug-related offending and antisocial behaviour Reduction in the harmful impact of alcohol in domestic abuse incidents Page 6 of 28 Key achievements during 2011/12: Challenge 25 Licensing Trade Event delivered to over 100 trade personnel Supported South West Scotland Community Justice Authority (CJA) to develop a CJA and ADP Shared Statement on Alcohol and Offending Criminal Justice Social Work staff trained in the use of ABI‟s to identify individuals requiring specialist support. Key actions for 2012/13: Support the local Licensing Board and Licensing Forum to examine overprovision and what impact, if any, this has on communities in South Ayrshire and gather an evidence base to inform the Licensing Policy Statement. Roll out the test purchasing programme Increase awareness amongst parents, carers and siblings on the consequences of agent sales Support the CJA to develop an Arrest Referral / Early Intervention service Review anti social behaviour activities being delivered across CPP Thematic Groups and agree additional required actions. Figure 3 details the Intermediate and Short-Term Outcomes ADP are working towards in relation to enforcement, availability and safer environments for 2012-2015. 3.3 Children and families affected by others’ substance misuse The ADP recognises that parental or carer substance misuse can result in a considerable number of negative effects on the family and the impact can be complex and wide-ranging. The importance of collaborative practice in producing comprehensive assessments of risk and need in relation to children is crucial to ensure that the right interventions and action plans are in place. Good communication and the willingness to work together are key to improving support to children, young people and their parents or carers. Addressing the loss and stigma experienced by some adults can act as a highly motivating component on the road to recovery, where the adult has been unable to make or sustain the necessary changes previously whilst their child has remained in their care. Key outcomes the ADP aims to achieve during 2012-15 are: Children and family members of people misusing alcohol and drugs are safe, wellsupported and have improved life chances Children and families affected by substance misuse receive appropriate support when required in a non-stigmatising way Social care workforce is confident and competent in dealing with parental substance misuse and its impact on children Key achievements during 2011/12: Development of an ADP and Child Protection Joint Commitment Statement University of Stirling jointly commissioned (with North Ayrshire ADP) to establish baseline data for children affected by parental substance misuse (CAPSM) and to develop systems for future data recording and collection. Small scale audit of adult alcohol & drug services and children & family services undertaken to look at joint working and information sharing. Page 7 of 28 Key actions for 2012/13: Review finding of CAPSM Research project, identify and agree further actions. Deliver joint ADP and CPC event to raise awareness of CAPSM and further develop collaborative practice. Develop an audit programme for specialist alcohol and drug services to ensure all children affected by parental substance misuse are identified and referred. Develop and implement framework for consulting children, young people and their family‟s experiences of services. Figure 4 details the Intermediate and Short-Term Outcomes ADP are working towards in relation to children and families affected by others‟ substance misuse for 2012-2015. 3.4 Developing a Recovery Orientated System of Care Previously, services across South Ayrshire were delivered in line with a locally agreed three phase „Functional Model‟ for treatment and support services. However, in line with the national drive towards more recovery-focused service provision, a new Recovery Orientated System of Care (ROSC) has been developed.4 The new ROSC has the following strategic vision at its heart: Recovery is possible and at the centre of all services we provide People will own their own recovery and service staff will facilitate their recovery journey People in recovery will support others along the path to recovery Communities will support their members through recovery People in recovery support their communities People in recovery will have a key role in planning and development of services. The ROSC helps people to take charge of their own recovery and is well suited to the assetbased community development approach. Key outcomes in relation to recovery for 2012-15: Alcohol and drug services are working with individuals on strength-based asset approach ensuring people move through treatment into sustained recovery Individuals are recovering from problematic drug and alcohol use Improved life circumstances to promote sustained recovery Individuals, families and communities affected by alcohol and drug problems have hope that recovery is possible and have the skills and support to help them plan for this journey Key Achievements during 2011/12: Established and developed an active ADP Service User Engagement Steering Group. Service users represented on a range of ADP groups. Established the first Service User Recovery Forum in March 2012. ROSC Stakeholder Development event held in September for staff and service users ROSC Briefing sessions delivered to 62 staff members. Supported the development of new local mutual aid group. Support local people in recovery to develop „Celebrating Recovery‟ resources 4 A Recovery Orientated System of Care for Ayrshire & Arran (February 2011) https://www.southayrshire.gov.uk/adp Page 8 of 28 Met and exceeded HEAT A11 access to treatment waiting times targets. Exceeded the local target for the initial phase of rolling out the national Take Home Naloxone Programme. Key Actions for 2012/13: Continue to implement the ROSC in South Ayrshire. Host RecoveryAyr – Footsteps to Recovery on 16th June 2012 to promote and celebrate recovery. Support service users to develop regular Recovery Forums.

Implement and evaluate local outcomes measurement tool. Workforce development – see Section 3.5. Figure 5 details the Intermediate and Short-Term Outcomes ADP are working towards in relation to developing a recovery orientated system of care for 2012-2015. 3.5 Communication, engagement and workforce development Key to the delivery of outcomes in the strategy is effective communication . The partnership is committed to developing communication between services, providing materials within the local community to help support long-term behaviour change, and the providing accurate and clear information on the local services available. Key outcomes the ADP aims to achieve during 2012-15 are: Improved communication and information-sharing between specialist and non specialist statutory, 3rd sector and community groups. South Ayrshire‟s alcohol and drug workforce are united by a shared vision, focused on the needs of individuals. Increased knowledge and understanding among the general public about drug and alcohol dependency and recovery, to reduce the levels of fear, blame and stigma. Increased engagement with people in recovery, their families and the local communities in the ongoing process of systems improvement. Alcohol and drug services which are high quality, continually improving, efficient, evidence-based and responsive, ensuring that people move through treatment into sustained recovery. Key achievements for 2011/12: Launch of South Ayrshire‟s Alcohol and Strategy by Roseanna Cunningham, Minister for Community Safety in October 2011. The launch event was attended by over 100 service users, staff and community members. Recovery Survey completed by over 450 individuals to gather data on the knowledge and attitudes towards recovery of a wide range of staff and community-based groups involved in a ROSC. Development of information posters for both Adult and Children & Family Alcohol and Drug Support Services and wide distribution within the community. Standardised performance management and evaluation process put in place for all ADP funded services. Page 9 of 28 Key actions for 2012/13: Develop a local overarching Communication Strategy to support the implementation of the local alcohol and drug strategy. Develop links with local media to promote positive recovery stories. Utilise an outcomes-based commissioning approach when commissioning new services in South Ayrshire. Undertake a mapping of current training activities to indentify gaps and duplication in provision. Review current training provision in line with Supporting the Development of Scotland’s Alcohol and Drug Workforce5 and work with partners to identify workforce development needs and implement appropriate training.

GOVERNANCE AND PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT 4.1 Outcome Indicators A robust performance management system is being finalised to ensure that progress towards the outcomes can be demonstrated to our partners and, more importantly, to our communities and service users. An Outcomes Framework has been developed detailing specific indicators which will measure progress towards achieving the outcomes. The ADP are developing a number of additional local indicators and these will be put in place as baselines are established and included in future updates of the Delivery Plan. Local targets have not been set for a number of national indicators due to the lack of long term data available to show trends over time. The ADP will keep under review the national indicators as more data becomes available. Table 1 - 5 detail the agreed outcome indicators to demonstrate progress towards achieving the outcomes. The Outcomes Indicators detailed in Tables 1 – 5 are either Intermediate or High Level Outcomes. Evidence suggests that it is likely to take 3-5 years for a positive change to be seen in Intermediate Outcomes and 10 years or more for a change in High Level Indicators therefore positive change in a number of outcomes may not be seen during this Delivery Plan. The ADP recognises that the achievement of the outcomes will result from the contribution of all workstreams in the strategy delivering synergistically in addition to external factors which may lie outwith the control the ADP. 4.2 Links to Community Planning South Ayrshire ADP is a Thematic Group within the CPP Structure and reports directly to the CPP. Appendix 1 details the current ADP Structure and links to the CPP and other thematic groups. The CPP nominates the Chair of the ADP and endorses the Terms of Reference. All Thematic Sub Group submit brief written progress reports to each CPP meeting, attends the annual SOA reporting seminar and as a minimum attends the CPP once a year. The CPP reviewed and endorsed the ADP Alcohol and Drug Strategy and recommendations for funding. The ADP Delivery Plan and Annual Reports, including progress in relation to the SOA and National Core Outcomes will be reviewed by the CPP prior to submission to the Scottish Government.

Page 18 of 28 Supporting narrative Reduction in harm will occur if consumption decreases. This is dependent on changes to environmental factors such as affordability, availability and social acceptability. Influence over some of these issues lies outwith the control of the ADP and will result from national legislative changes. There is also likely to be a significant time lag between reduction in consumption and a positive impact on harms to health. Evidence indicates that a reduction in chronic alcohol conditions may not be seen for on average 10 years following changes in overall population consumption. As a result, although the target is a reduction in harm it is unlikely that this will be realised within the life of this strategy6 1.13 House fires are a top priority for Strathclyde Fire & Rescue and staff are committed to working closely with partners to address the underlying causes of alcohol/drugs misuse to reduce the number of dwelling fires where alcohol or drugs is a contributing factor. During the course of this Delivery Plan it is expected that the performance measure will increase. This is due to the data is recorded, in previous years only people taken to hospital were recorded as casualties now anyone receiving a precautionary check up is also included within this data. The ADP is currently working with partners to develop local outcome indicators which can robustly measure progress towards achieving outcomes in relation to Prevention and Education: Changing Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes. The Delivery Plan will be updated as baselines are established.

See supporting narrative. Strathclyde Police Supporting narrative As stated in Table 1 reductions in harm require a reduction in consumption. Evidence suggests that, unlike changes in chronic alcohol related conditions positive impacts on alcohol related crime and disorder are likely to become apparent more quickly. 7 2.7 Strathclyde Police has been working locally to increase the number of test purchase operations. In 2011/12 17 intelligence led test purchase Monitoring and Evaluating Scotland‟s Alcohol Strategy. Setting the Scene: Theory of change and baseline picture, NHS Health Scotland (2011) http://www.healthscotland.com/documents/5072.aspx Page 21 of 28 7 operations took place with one person reported to the Procurator Fiscal regarding the alleged sale of alcohol to a person underage. In the premises where no offences are detected then good practice is acknowledged and encouraged. Over the course of the Delivery Plan there will be an increase in the number of test purchase operations in South Ayrshire. 2.8 Drink/ Drug driving is a priority issue for Strathclyde Police and there will be an increased focus on this issue to keep people safe. The intention will be to increase the number of people detected for drink or drug driving. In relation to drunk and incapable offences this remains an area where police officer‟s will take action. The action can be to arrest in the interests of the safety and well being of the individual concerned however other options include securing medical attention as appropriate etc. Given the range of welfare and safety based measures which can be taken then it is likely that this performance measure will remain constant in the period of the Delivery Plan. Increases or decreases in number must be seen in this context. In South Ayrshire Strathclyde Police have robustly enforced the legislation surrounding street drinking bye laws. This focus remains and there are links between public consumption of alcohol and anti social behaviour complaints from local communities. The trend data demonstrates the impact which enforcing the provisions around consuming alcohol in designated places can produce. This downward trend will be aim for the period of this Delivery Plan although where detected these offences will continue to be dealt with robustly which may impact on future trends. 2.10 Drug Treatment and Testing Orders (DTTO) was introduced across Ayrshire from 2004, and the overall trend for Reconviction Frequency Rates has been a reduction from 2005/6 - 192.3 to the latest available figures of 2008/9 – 120.7. However, DTTO criteria necessarily results in a much smaller cohort than other community sentences which address substance use, i.e. Scotland 2008/9 – DTTO 363 (162.3) compared to Probation 5,122 (86.0), and therefore individual variation in reoffending has a greater impact, particularly in Ayrshire, where only 3 DTTO were imposed in South Ayrshire in 2011/12. 2.11 Anti Social Behaviour remains a priority area for police officers working in South Ayrshire. The data shows that the number of cases has fallen from the baseline year and this trend is welcome and will remain the target of this Delivery Plan. Strathclyde Police works closely with partners to address the underlying causes of anti social behaviour in a number of ways including placing a police officer on the Anti Social Behaviour Team of South Ayrshire Council. This partnership approach encourages information sharing and a joined up approach to dealing with issues. 2.14 Strathclyde Police is committed to partnership working when dealing with incidents of domestic abuse. All members of staff are aware of their role and their responsibilities in dealing with domestic abuse. There is a dedicated Domestic Abuse Unit working locally with individuals and agencies to provide the best possible outcomes to keep people safe. During the course of this Delivery Plan the aim will be to reduce the number of domestic abuse incidents where alcohol and drugs have been involved. This aim must be understood within the context of the ongoing efforts to encourage those who are living with domestic abuse to come forward for assistance and support. The ADP is currently working with partners to develop local outcome indicators which can robustly measure progress towards achieving outcomes in relation to Availability, Enforcement, Safer Environments and Communities. The Delivery Plan will be updated as baselines are established.

ADP FUNDING 6.1 Alcohol Misuse and Drug Misuse Funding Scottish Government Alcohol Misuse and Drug Misuse Funding allocated to NHS Ayrshire & Arran are divided between North Ayrshire, East Ayrshire and South Ayrshire ADPs using agreed formulas. South Ayrshire ADPs funding allocations for 2012/13 include: Alcohol Misuse allocation for 2012/13 Drug Misuse allocation for 2012/13 South Ayrshire Council allocation for 2012/13 £752,260 £364,488 £140,476 The ADP has identified two commissioning priorities for 2012/15 namely: A local person-centred recovery support service which incorporates the ethos of the ROSC A local service to support children and young people affected by parental or carer substance misuse Table 6 provides a breakdown of the funding allocations for 2012/13. With the exception of the two new commissioned services, funding allocations beyond 31st March 2013 are still to be reviewed and agreed by the ADP and CPP. 6.2 NHS Ayrshire & Arran Core Direct Spend In addition to the Alcohol Misuse and Drug Misuse Funding detailed above NHS Ayrshire & Arran has „core‟ direct spend in relation to alcohol and drug misuse. The following details „core‟ direct spend by NHS Ayrshire and Arran*: South Ayrshire: Ayrshire &Arran (Pan-Ayrshire services) £877,684 £1,310,508 The figures detailed above should be treated with caution as they are notionally split. This core funding incorporates elements of staffing and supplies costs and also funding related to substitute prescribing – the funding split changes on a regular basis and it is based on the current needs of the service or the locality team taking into account current caseload, numbers of referrals, increases/decreases on the numbers on substitute medication and changes to dispensing/supervision regimes. 6.3 Performance Management Arrangements Each service funded by the ADP is subject to a standardised performance management processes and will have a dedicated monitoring officer(s) in place. Each service has agreed outcomes detailed in a Service Level Agreement or Service Specification and provides regular performance management reports. The Commissioning and Performance Management (CPM) Group oversee the performance management of these services and provide exception reports to the ADP with remedial actions where required.

The ADP Chairs events have been beneficial and the ADP would welcome similar events for ADP officers. The ADP has received excellent support from national organisations including the Scottish Government Delivery Team, Scottish Recovery Consortium and Scottish Drugs Forum (Naloxone Training for Trainers courses). The ADP commissioned Alcohol Focus Scotland to deliver local training. The mapping of local training will also include a review of STRADA training available and how this could be utilised locally. Health Scotland colleagues will be supporting the ADP during 2012/13 with the development and evaluation of the asset based community project. The ADP would welcome support on the development of local core indicators and measurement tools, as well as longer term national trend data and analysis.
