Management Development
A key area of activity for the Welsh Assembly Government Substance Misuse Branch is the development of skills for managers in the substance misuse field. During November 2007, WAG commissioned a piece of research that collected information on all the qualifications that were available for managers in the substance misuse field to undertake. This resulted in the formation of a database which can be viewed and searched by following the link below.
