Falkirk Alcohol and Drug Partnership
Falkirk Alcohol and Drug Partnership (ADP) plans local support services, informs prevention, education, and licensing decisions. It challenges stigma and promotes understanding of the issues which can prevent people from accessing help and support.
Over the next few months, Falkirk ADP will be developing a three-year strategy and delivery plan as well as a Lived Experience Panel.
We want to hear the views of people with lived experience to help inform the strategy and the development of services within Falkirk.
If you have any questions, please contact: HSCPComms@falkirk.gov.uk

Phases
Feedback and Next Steps
Following the event on 30 May, we have created a summary document that highlights the responses and information that emerged from the Conversation Café. The summary document is available for you to view in the file attached.
Members interested in joining the Lived Experience Panel were invited to an induction session in the Falkirk Stadium on 01 August. The Lived Experience Panel now meet on a monthly basis and a vote was cast by members to re-name their group the Authentic Voices Group (AVG.)
Moving forward, the Falkirk Alcohol and Drug Partnership will be developing a three-year strategy and delivery plan. More information will be provided as this work progresses.
