Teachers are the preferred method of drugs education for young people according to research carried out by PRCI (DDN Nov 05)

According to past training session evaluations, most teachers feel unconfident when talking to young people about drugs and alcohol issues, and have little knowledge of current drug trends.

Every Child Matters key objectives are met by ensuring staff are trained in assessment and screening.

The National Service Framework key objective to promote healthy lifestyles for young people is met with this training.

Training can also be provided for parents of vulnerable young people if required.

What are you doing about drug education and early intervention in your school? This issue cannot be ignored.

Ensure your teachers and support staff are confident at dealing with drug and alcohol issues as outlined in Every Child Matters, and recommended by the DfES
