About EDAP and EDAAT
Essex Drug and Alcohol Partnership (EDAP) Mission Statement:
The EDAP will work with the communities of Essex to help reduce and prevent usage of illegal drugs and alcohol, minimise their harm, treat and rehabilitate users, reduce related offending and crime, and thereby to make a significant contribution to community well being.
What is the Essex Drug and Alcohol Action Team (EDAAT)?
EDAAT is responsible for co-ordinating all county wide drug and alcohol government requirements on behalf of EDAP.
Hosted by Essex County County Council the team consists of fourteen staff members headed up by a Strategic Manager. It is responsible for turning all EDAP visions and strategies into reality.
We work to national guidance from a range of Government departments that are pulled together by the Home Office Drug Strategy Directorate through the national drug strategy. To ensure our effectiveness we work closely with colleagues from the Government Office of the Eastern Region (GO-East) and the National Treatment Agency (NTA) in developing and delivering a set of strategic plans that meet national and local priorities.
