The Alcohol etc. (Scotland) Act 2010 - Age Verification Policy and 'Challenge 25' With effect from 1st October 2011, Section 6 of The Alcohol etc. (Scotland) Act 2010 introduces a new mandatory condition for all premises licences and occasional licences requiring that there must be an age verification policy in relation to the sale of alcohol on the premises. |
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 partner within Community Planning Aberdeen.
Community Planning Aberdeen have adopted the Scottish Government's five themes/priorities - Wealthier and Fairer; Smarter; Stronger and Safer; Healthier and Greener. They are currently developing a new structure to reflect their new arrangements. The ADP is a Community Planning partner under the Healthier theme.
The partners within Community Planning Aberdeen are the drivers of the Community Plan Update 2008 and Single Outcome Agreement 2008-11 and this places the responsibility for the delivery of action within the City on the partners as part of Community Planning Aberdeen.
