The one-day conference 'Advancing Harm Reduction - International Lessons for Local Practice' was held in the London School of Hygiene and Typical Medicine, on the 7th of September 2006. The conference, attended by over 130 delegates, had been organised to allow those who were unable to attend the recent conference in Vancouver the opportunity to hear about and discuss some of the key themes of the event and the new ideas in many areas of practice presented there. These included advances in the development of user advocacy, work on tackling bacterial and viral infections, engaging young people in harm reduction, developments in harm reduction and heroin use – including examining the evidence from heroin trials. There was also a report on some of the ‘fringe’ meetings from the conference.

Knowing the Score :: Scheffield 2006 |
|
|
|
|
Th conference 'Knowing the Score - Learning from the Positive Futures Case Study Research Project' took place on the 7th and 8th of November 2006 in Sheffield. This Conference provided a platform to launch the final report, from Sheffield Hallam University, on the independent case study research undertaken on the Positive Futures programme, funded by the Home Office. It also offered the opportunity for policy makers, managers and those working within the field to consider the lessons from the research - both in relation to existing projects and future developments. The Positive Futures Programme is aimed at engaging young people at risk of involvement in drug use and criminal behaviour in constructive activities within the community, particularly through the use of sport and other cultural activities. The range of projects funded through the programme is impressive. They range from local initiatives to those supported by large organisations, including football clubs, such as Sheffield United FC. The common feature of all the projects is their combined approach of fun and purposeful activity with educational activity, particularly aimed at knowledge of the consequences of substance use, often developing and employing peer-lead initiatives. As well as the obvious influence of the National Drug Strategy, the programme also contributes to the delivery of the Social Inclusion, Respect and Every Child Matters strategies. Further information from the conference will soon become available. |
