The Aberdeen City Alcohol & Drugs Partnership (ADP), previously known as the Joint Alcohol & Drugs Action Team (JADAT) is a multi-agency partnership which was formed in 2009 following the publication of the Scottish Government / COSLA document, 'A Framework For Local Partnerships On Alcohol And Drugs'.

The national framework aims:

'to ensure that all bodies involved in tackling alcohol and drugs problems are clear about their responsibilities and their relationships with each other; and to focus activity on the identification, pursuit and achievement of agreed, shared outcomes'.

The document made clear that the Scottish Government / COSLA expect each local authority area to operate a dedicated partnership on alcohol and drugs, which is firmly embedded within their Community Planning Partnership structure. Governance and accountability arrangements are to be provided through the:

  • Single Outcome Agreement
  • NHS performance management arrangements, including HEAT targets

 

Mission Statement

The ADP's mission statement is:

"To deliver measurable improvements in the quality of life for the people of Aberdeen, particularly their health and well-being in relation to alcohol and drugs."

 

ADP and the Community Planning Partnership

The Aberdeen City Alcohol & Drugs Partnership (ADP) is a Challenge Forum within the Aberdeen City Community Planning Partnership.

The Community Plan contains 16 Challenges, each with its own set of targets, and each with its own Forum charged with ensuring that action is taken by partners to achieve these targets.

The Forums are the drivers of the Community Plan and Single Outcome Agreement (2008-09) and this places the responsibility for the delivery of action within the City on the Forums.
