HMP Wolds in partnership with the Prison Service is committed to the
Government's Strategy of 'Tackling Drugs to Build a Better Britain'.
The four aims of the Government
Strategy are to:
Help young people resist drug misuse in order to achieve their
full potential
To protect our communities from drug-related anti-social and
criminal behaviour
To enable people with drug problems to overcome them and live
healthy crime-free lives
To stifle the availability of illegal drugs on our streets
This will be achieved by adopting a four-point
strategy:
Reducing the supply of illegal drugs in prison
Reduction of the demand for illegal drugs
Provision of clinical treatment options and education on health
related issues
Delivery of a Counselling Assessment Referral Advice and Throughcare
(CARAT) service
The Drug Strategy Team (DST) will monitor the work. The DST will
also collate information in relation to training needs of staff
and assessment of resources.
