Drug Interventions Programme
Around arrest, beyond release 2 - moving forward
Around arrest, beyond release 2 – moving forward, is a follow-up study to Around Arrest, Beyond Release report originally published in August 2007.
It was undertaken by the Drugs Interventions Programme (DIP) to help services (both mainstream and specialist) consider practically the issues that affect families around the time of a drug user’s arrest and beyond their release from prison or treatment. The three-year action plan (2008-2011) in Drugs: protecting families and communities – the 2008 drug strategy also made a commitment to publish the report.
The report identifies and recommends practice that can assist the planning, development, and delivery of family and family-focused support. It is aimed at those involved in commissioning, planning and delivering services provided to address issues (including drugs, health, community safety, housing and safeguarding) within the local community. It should be of interest to those who are likely to come into contact with other vulnerable adults, children and families.
