Harm Reduction. The program has a written internal Harm Reduction Policy that includes the guiding principles per Resolution # 10-00 810611 of the San Francisco Department of Public Health Commission.
Harm Reduction. (incorporating Anti-Social Behaviour, Safeguarding, Cyber Crime, Hate Crime, Modern Slavery, Child Sexual Exploitation, Prevent and Channel)
6.1 ASB is prioritised and dealt with by the CSPs who are seeing a change in the profile to more "personal ASB" (a new approach to categorisation) with reducing neighbourhood ASB. The former may involve such issues as targeted ASB and online bullying and may be indicative of a generation spending more time at their computer keyboards.
6.2 Safeguarding is embedded into the working practises of the SCB partner agencies, but more formalised working arrangements with the Adults and Children's Safeguarding Boards and the HWBB has been put in place with the SCB becoming a signatory of a joint working protocol with those bodies and a joint chairs meeting taking place.
6.3 Cyber Crime is the emerging threat as noted in the PCCs Plan. It is unclear at this time what the scale of the threat/risk is, as West Mercia Police are developing an understanding in conjunction with the national agency Action Fraud. WCC PH represents the CSPs in the West Mercia Wide Cyber Crime meeting. We will work with that meeting to develop analysis that describes the demographic and locale of vulnerable individuals and to develop strategies to help them protect themselves.
6.4 The Hate Incident Partnerships (HIP) continue to operate using the same principles as the MARAC process, which is widely regarded as best practice in terms of enabling a multi-agency approach to data sharing and offering support to victims of hate incidents and hate crimes. In 2018/19 consideration will be given to how the North and South HIP's can potentially work more effectively, with a view to delivering a focus on community tension monitoring.
6.5 The Government's Prevent agenda remains a priority within Worcestershire, focusing on training and awareness raising and ensuring that all partner agencies have access to training packages and have appropriate corporate policies in place. WCC's awareness package is now available to partners and the VCS and has started to be accessed at the end of 2017.
6.6 The Worcestershire Prevent Strategy Group has developed a practical action plan which supports and oversees the work of Specified Authorities, who are required to implement duties under the Counter Terrorism Act. A key focus is to raise awareness of the Prevent Agenda amongst community members and to show how partner agencies can work together to improve cohesion and integratio...

Harm Reduction. Harm Reduction comprises providing information, advice and guidance to ensure safer use of substances including alcohol and to support service users to keep safe and well. The principles of harm reduction should be integral to the work of all staff within the service, but also includes elements such as a needle exchange, blood borne virus (BBV) interventions and supporting ‘at risk’ service users to access Tuberculosis (TB) screening and treatment services where required harmful and hazardous drinking levels. The harm reduction element of the Service will be open access as some users who may only be engaged with harm reduction. It is important for the Service to still challenge all substance misuse with presenting service users and ensure that support towards recovery is presented as an option to all. Where service users express a wish to engage or re-engage with structured treatment for drug and /or alcohol dependency, this will involve helping to set longer recovery goals. This open access element of the service can often be a vital source of intelligence of emerging trends in substance misuse and associated xxxxx and should be open to sharing non patient identifiable information with partners when the aim is to reduce the harm caused by all substance misuse. ● Dietary advice, reducing suicide risk, poly drug use, and interaction with prescribed medication, and home safety such as cooking, heating, fire risk, abuse and exploitation. For more information see Working with Change Resistant Drinkers, Alcohol Concern (2014) ● Substance misuse and associated xxxxx. ● Performance and Image Enhancing Drugs (e.g. illicit use of steroids and growth hormones). ● Safer injecting, reducing frequency of injecting and reducing initiation of others into injecting. ● Information on primary health care services including local GPs, pharmacies, related services and deliver important physical, psychological and sexual health messages to those not engaged in primary health care services. ● Brief advice for smoking and referral to appropriate specialist services. ● Develop effective partnership work with community based healthcare services, including respiratory and TB services, infectious diseases, and gastroenterology.
Harm Reduction. Harm Reduction is a set of practical strategies that reduce the negative consequences associated with drug use, including safer use, managed use, and non-punitive abstinence. These strategies meet drug users "where they're at," addressing conditions and motivations of drug use along with the use itself. Harm Reduction acknowledges an individual's ability to take responsibility for their own behavior. This approach fosters an environment where individuals can openly discuss substance use without fear of judgment or reprisal, and does not condone or condemn drug use. Staff working in a Harm Reduction setting work in partnership with tenants, and are expected to respond directly to unacceptable behaviors, whether or not the behaviors are related to substance use. The Harm Reduction model has also been successfully broadened to reducing xxxxx related to health and wellness as well as many other issues.
Harm Reduction. Harm Reductions models use a variety of strategies to reduce the harmful consequences associated with substance misuse. Harm reduction strategies seek to reduce morbidity and mortality associated with substance misuse for those for whom abstinence is not an immediate and/or feasible goal.
