This guide outlines the minimum standards and criteria for effective drug education in schools. It emphasizes the importance of having designated staff and governors responsible for drug education, a planned program starting from early years, and a policy for managing drug-related incidents. The involvement of parents/carers and collaboration with local authorities, such as police and youth services, is essential for addressing pupils' needs and ensuring a supportive environment. Staff are trained to engage confidently with students about drug issues in alignment with national strategies.
