About the East Midlands

Alcohol Harm Reduction in the East Midlands

The Regional Government Office Alcohol Harm Reduction Programme Board is a cross government group (chaired by the Department of Health and the Home Office) which will:

• Have an oversight of delivery against PSA 25/NI39
• Influence and mediate policy to reflect local need
• Challenge and support the areas across the East Midlands which are facing the greatest challenges surrounding harm reduction

The Regional Alcohol Harm Reduction Coordinators Group comprises of the strategic leads on alcohol harm reduction from the nine unitary and two-tier areas across the regions. This group helps to ensure the implementation of Safe.Sensible.Social across the East Midlands, acting as a reference group for the Programme Board and the Regional Delivery Groups. The coordinators group will also work together on areas where regional collaboration will have a greater impact.

The East Midlands Alcohol Harm Reduction Network is a large network of people from a wide range of organisations around the region who have an interest in alcohol harm reduction.

The Regional Alcohol Programme Manager provides the strategic leadership of the Regional alcohol Improvement Programme.
