This report will present collated data from the action research conducted by Community Response in collaboration with the South Inner City Drug and Alcohol Task Force (SICDATF). The focus of the research was to engage with people who use alcohol or drugs in public places in the south inner city, with a predominant focus on the Liberties area. The aim of the project was to gain insights into their level of interaction with local support services.
The key objectives:
1. To engage with people using the hot spots. These are sites that had been identified by the community where people use drugs and alcohol and there is discarded drug-related litter.
2. To establish the number of people using these sites and if they are using other services. If they wish to have support, information, or a referral to an appropriate service and to reinforce inter-agency work that will benefit the service users and the community.
3. To collate all the gathered information and to liaise with community groups, networks, and services.
4. To reinforce Inter-agency work that will benefit the service users and the community.
