Drugs safety leaflet launched - 18/09/06

 

The 'Inroads Streets Drugs Project' has launched a new leaflet to advise the public on what to do if they find a needle or syringe.

 

Although it is a rare situation for someone to find themselves in, it is vital that people are aware of what steps to take on such an occasion.

 

The key message of the 'How to Keep Us All Safe' leaflet is to keep yourself safe, keep others safe, and contact either Environmental Health or your local Police Station.

 

The 'Inroads' charity, with centres in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan, provide a free and confidential service offering information, advice and support to drug users, ex-users, their families and friends.

 

As 'Inroads' is one of the chosen charities supported by the Vale of Glamorgan Mayor Nic Hodges during his year in office, the leaflet was launched at an official reception he hosted at the Civic Offices in Barry.

 

The leaflet will be distributed to service users, pharmacies, libraries, health centres, and other community venues.
