Future Directions for Worcestershire Community Alcohol Team (WCAT)
The attached Position Statement accurately identifies the decision taken by the Board of Trustees at its meeting in 2011.
In order to further inform decisions on the future of the charity the Board has authorised a project, the aims of which are:
- To identify and evaluate evidence / potential demand that supports the development of
a service or facility to address alcohol misuse in Worcestershire.
- To identify potential sources of finance for any possible service / facility beyond an initial pilot period.
- In line with the principles in the position Statement any proposed activity should be evidence based,
reflect a full consultation with existing stakeholders (commissioners, providers and service users)
and propose clear milestones that facilitate future evaluation.
- A preliminary report was available Board meeting on 11th October 2011. A full report, andan implementation plan was completed by 31st December 2011.
The Board has authorised a project budget of £25,000 for the full completion of this research.
This plan is now complete and has been adopted by the board. An Action plan is now in place. January 2011
