These case studies look at the impact of TYS and TYS related processes on substance misuse.

They outline the challenges faced, the actions taken and the resulting impact, and offer some implementation tips for others working with young people at risk of substance misuse.

Their purpose is to give you a taste of the types of practice as they emerge; the opportunity to find out more about issues relevant to you and your authority, and to illustrate how TYS helps vulnerable young people, through early identification, intervention and preventative work, to deal with their problems before they escalate.

To help you decide if these case studies are appropriate to your needs, we have provided further details of the contents here:

  • East Sussex County Council - combating substance misuse through multi-agency working

  • Leeds - voluntary sector leads multi-agency team to combat substance misuse

  • St Neots, Cambridgeshire - partnership working combats under-age drinking

 

Further case studies will be added as they become available.
