Guidance on children and young people's alcohol issues has been released this month by the London Joint Action Group (JAG) on alcohol. The guidance is aimed at all commissioners, service managers and front-line staff who work with children and young people.

The guidance chapters include:
- Key Strategies
- Universal/Prevention and Early Intervention
- Targeted/Harm Reduction
- Specialist Treatment
- Treatment Exit and Transitions
- Information Sharing and Joint Working
- Whole Family Approaches
- Key Contacts
The guidance was produced by gathering information from a select number of statutory bodies and practitioners across London, including first London Alcohol Practitioner's forum (event summary here). The JAG was established to support the delivery of the Regional Statement of Priorities [pdf], a framework for reducing alcohol related harm in the capital.
