London Drug Policy Forum
The London Drug Policy Forum assists, supports and advises
policy makers on drug issues affecting the capital to promote good
practice on education and prevention, community safety and
improving services for drug users.
The LDPF has been making an important contribution
to policy development associated with drug use since 1991. Over
this period it has also developed a number of resources to
help support local delivery, especially within London. In recent
years the profile of the LDPF has increased
significantly.
The Forum works with a wide range of partners including central
and regional government, local authority bodies, voluntary sector
agencies, community groups as well as the private sector and
business groups. The Forum also acts as host for overseas visitors
who wish to learn more about UK drug policy. For example we have
hosted the Anti –Narcotics Minister from Afghanistan (at the
request of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office) as well as
representatives from the USA and Europe.
