The Local Drug Information System (LDIS) is a process which will assess and respond to drug information by issuing drug alerts where relevant, as a response to an immediate risk from drugs.

This system will collate reports on new, potent or contaminated drugs to be verified and will be shared to deliver an agreed response.

The LDIS form is for professionals living and working in the county of Dorset.

How to report drug information 

To share information on a drug related death, non-fatal overdose or report drug trend information, complete the LDIS report form.

If you are sharing drug intelligence, you must also report it to Dorset Police.

Safeguarding responsibilities

If the information you are sharing includes safeguarding concerns, follow your organisations safeguarding procedures. Submitting an LDIS form does not replace or remove your organisations responsibility to follow their safeguarding policies and procedures. The welfare of the individual affected by the substance must always be the top priority.
