Getting Involved
LDAAT Executive Board Meetings
The LDAAT Executive Board meetings are designed to enable both members and the public to report on national policy issues and discuss how they affect the strategic direction of LDAAT. With members drawn from Primary Care Trusts, Police Prisons, Probation, Lancashire County Council (LCC) and Social Care, these meetings ensure that our goal - to break the cycle of substance misuse across the country- is a shared vision with a shared direction.
Why is it important you attend?
Decisions are made at the LDAAT Executive Board meetings that have a direct impact upon the way in which we approach and tackle substance misuse throughout the country. Owing to this and the need to deliver initiatives that are developed in response to the direct needs of your particular community, we recognise that your voice is essential.
Whilst the agenda for these meetings is designed by the LDAAT, your input is invaluable in shaping the strategy. Following each agenda item, you will have an opportunity to raise questions, which will be addressed by those responsible for developing and implementing policy.
