Anything But Safe

Project Map

Welcome to the Southern Regional Drugs Task Force 

"Working in partnership to reduce the harmful effects caused to society by Drug or alcohol misuse"

The Southern Regional Drugs Task Force was established under the National Drugs Strategy 2001 -2008 to work with communities who are experiencing issues of drug and alcohol misuse (in counties Cork & Kerry, but not Cork City, where there is a Local Drugs Task Force), and to support projects in these communities which address an identified need.  The Task Force now operates under the National Drugs Strategy 2009 -2016


SRDTF

The Task Force operates using Partnership Principles and has membership from the statutory, voluntary and community sectors alongside public representatives. The SRDTF employs a coordinator (Chris Black) and a Development Worker (Gordon Kinsley) who are employed to oversee the implementation of a Regional Strategy.  The Coordinator is employed by the HSE but reports to the Chairperson of the Task Force (Peadar King) for day to day operations
