Children and Young People Drugs Strategy

The problems created by the illegal sale and use of drugs are widespread and complex. No single service or intervention can address these problems alone. Preventing and reducing the harm caused by drugs requires a whole system approach that focuses on addressing the root causes of substance misuse rather than treating the symptoms in isolation.

The Children and Young People Drugs Strategy outlines the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea’s (RBKC) and Westminster City Council’s (WCC) public health approach using data, research, intelligence, evidence-based practice and our residents’ lived experiences to inform recommendations for action.
