About Us

Kirklees Drug Action Team (DAT) http://www.saferkirklees.co.uk/ provides local direction and leadership in implementing the Government's National Strategy for substance misuse. An important function of the DAT is to plan what services will be needed by the people of Kirklees, and then commission and monitor that service delivery.

Kirklees DAT monitors quality standards in training by requiring all trainers to complete a Train the Trainers and Drugs Ethics course followed by an NVQ Level 3, Training and Presenting in the workplace award.

Whilst Kirklees DAT offers classroom based training courses, this e-learning programme provides an ideal start point for anyone wanting to gain a basic understanding and general awareness of legal and illegal drugs (including alcohol), issues relating to young people and adults, safer injecting, assessment and care planning, reducing drug related deaths, motivational interviewing, recognition of signs and symptoms, agencies who can help and how you as an individual can provide support either as a professional or in the home environment.
