An evaluation of the Young Persons' Alcohol Intervention Programme in the Wirral: an interim report

The Young Person’s Alcohol Intervention Programme (YPAIP) was established in Wirral to provide referrals to those arrested or stopped by police for an alcohol-related offence to a local support service for young people. This is delivered through Response (established as part of the Children and Young People’s Department).Representatives from Response attempt to contact individual young people and/or their parents to assess their needs and deliver appropriate interventions. The Centre for Public Health were invited to evaluate the service. This interim report presents analysis of the existing data from Police and Response.
