Dundee City Council’s Protecting People team have identified the need to develop a robust trauma informed approach to ensure there are safe and meaningful processes in place for people with lived experience of trauma to contribute and influence decision making within local local multi-agency governance and strategic planning arrangements across Public Protection Partnerships.

Medically Assisted Treatment (MAT) Standards came into force in April 2022. The MAT Standards define what is needed for consistent delivery of safe and accessible drug treatment in Scotland to reduce drug deaths.

The Standards provide a framework to ensure MAT is safe, effective, accessible and person-centred to enable people to benefit from treatment for as long as needed.
