What are your responsibilities? My role covers the whole of the Southwest, mainly Cornwall and Devon. My responsibilities are threefold: monitoring performance of local authority drug action teams; supporting partnerships to help agencies work with each other; and providing advice and information to agencies.
Who's in your meetings? I meet with chief executives of a range of services, including health, social services, education, police and probation services, practitioners, providers, charities and youth workers.
How do you meet with young people?
