Recommendation 63
63
Paragraph: 224
Extend trauma-informed policing approaches to all situations involving drug use.
Conclusion
We welcome the increasing adoption of trauma-informed approaches by UK police forces. As drug use—particularly problematic or chronic drug use, can often be a consequence of trauma—we conclude that trauma-informed policing should be extended to situations involving drug use. We believe that this aligns with the Government’s commitment to adopting a whole system response to drugs outlined in the 10-Year Drugs Strategy.
