Community forums. There are 3 Community Forums (North, Central and South) led and organised by the community themselves where people with lived experience, community representatives and front-line workers from within the area can share insights, explore issues of concern and identify unmet needs. Forums enable communities to have a voice and the confidence to do things for themselves: • To prevent and reduce ▇▇▇▇▇ from alcohol and other drugs. • To work together to overcome stigma and apathy in realising aspirations. • To promote recovery and help develop recovery-supportive communities. Forums provide a platform that ensures that the collective voice of lived experience of individuals, families and communities is effectively heard, that they are empowered to influence policy and practice and that the Partnership continues to place the interests of affected individuals at the centre of its thinking. They are independent but closely partnered with the ADP. They receive funding from the ADP, and they are accountable to the Resources and Governance Committee for any monies they receive from the Partnership. Each forum has a seat on the ADP Strategic Committee and Lived and Living Experience Committee. Forum representatives are encouraged to inform, influence and hold to account the ADP. Organisation and conduct of the forums are described in their Terms of Reference.
