Challenge / Goal
Glasgow has recorded high levels of drug deaths in recent years, a fact exacerbated by the challenges of providing support services for the most vulnerable during covid. This has placed an increased strain on agencies tasked with trying to address alcohol and drug addictions in Glasgow.
Whilst there is close working between agencies, the level of detailed data sharing and analyses across agencies has been an on-going issue. The Glasgow Alcohol & Drug Partnership (ADP) approached the Council Data team (part-funded via ERDF) to ask whether it could facilitate greater data sharing and generate new insights around addictions issues through the use of data analytics and shared data.
Solution
The Glasgow Alcohol & Drug Partnership (ADP) Data Sharing Solution project was delivered as part of the 'Scotland's 8th City - the Smart City' ERDF programme. All seven cities involved are committed to 'community and citizen stakeholder engagement' as an additional programme output - with engagement required pre-, during, and post-project delivery.
For this project an extensive Stakeholder Engagement strategy and action plan was implemented with engagement taking place with internal and external partners at the planning and delivery, phases, with further engagement planned as part of post-project activity.
