Public Health
Coventry City Council is reviewing how substance misuse services for children and young people are provided. The proposal is to commission a service that focuses specifically on education and prevention, harm reduction and targeted support related to substance misuse. Under this proposal, support around relationships, online safety and sexual health would be provided by other existing services in the city.
We are seeking your views on this proposal and how it may affect children and young people in Coventry, the deadline for responses is 25 March. If you would like to request a paper copy of the survey or need this information in another format or language then please contact us on 08085 834333 or email hannah.shaw@coventry.gov.uk
