Drug and alcohol support service (DASS)

Support service for young people affected by drugs or alcohol.

How the DASS service remains confidential

The service is confidential in line with safeguarding policies. This means the worker would only discuss the young person with others if there was a risk of serious harm, and they would normally discuss this with the young person first if possible.

DASS encourages parent involvement, but only where a young person is comfortable with this – it’s not a requirement to access support.
