** Stopping Britain’s drug deaths
Tuesday, 13th October 2020 at 6.00pm UK time
------------------------------------------------------------

Four young people in or around Newcastle died last weekend, with MDMA and ketamine suspected to have been involved. The latest ONS data available shows that drug-related deaths in England and Wales are at their highest level since records began in 1993, and the death rate in the north-east is particularly high.

These tragedies and many others like them are made more likely by outdated approaches to harm reduction and regulation.

Universities often fail to offer their students suitable, effective advice on safer substance use, while politicians block initiatives like drug consumption rooms that are designed to tackle overdose deaths. A total absence of control or regulation in the criminal drug market leaves millions of Brits at much greater risk of harm and change is sorely needed.

In this webinar, we’re delighted to be joined by three experts in harm reduction and drug policy to discuss the changes that need to be made if we are to reduce the number of drug-related deaths in the UK.

Speakers:

Daniel Pryor (Head of Programmes, Adam Smith Institute) (Host)
Alicia Hannah Souter (PhD student, Newcastle University)
Paul North (Director of External Affairs, Volteface)
Steve Rolles (Senior Policy Analyst, Transform Drug Policy Foundation)

The event is entirely free to attend but you must secure a ticket to avoid disappointment.

Details:

Date: Tuesday, 13th October 2020
Time: 6.00pm - 7.00pm (UK time)

The webinar will begin at 6.00pm, with an audience Q&A session taking place at approximately 6.45pm. The webinar will conclude at 7.00pm.

We hope to see you there.
Yours,

Daniel
