The Drug and Alcohol Recovery Expert Panel’s (DAREP) purpose is to identify key areas for improvement in our current approach to tackling problematic drug and alcohol use in the criminal justice system (CJS) in England and Wales, and to test whether we are being sufficiently ambitious. By bringing together leading experts, this panel can be used to provide robust, evidencebased insights and explore new initiatives that reduce and prevent demand for drugs and alcohol, address the root causes of problematic drug and alcohol use, support treatment engagement and long-term recovery, and reduce harm. The Panel is strictly an advisory body and has no executive powers.
