Free resources for Alcohol Awareness Week
Monday 14th November 2016
To support teachers this Alcohol Awareness Week (November 14th - 20th), Drinkaware is providing an introductory lesson plan from its free Drinkaware for Education resources designed to help teachers of young people aged 9-14 to teach about alcohol.
Drinkaware’s latest research has shown a downward trend in the number of under-16s drinking alcohol, with 11-15s who have tried alcohol falling from 64% in 1990 to 38% in 2014. However, new research also shows that alcohol consumption among young Britons is still higher than the European average. Girls are disproportionately affected by the risks of alcohol consumption and drinking alcohol is directly linked to an increased risk of injury and risky sexual activity for both boys and girls.
Drinkaware for Education is a free, curriculum-linked alcohol education programme suitable for PSHE lessons with students in both primary and secondary schools. These resources are fully accredited by the PSHE Association’s Quality Assurance Mark as a key tool to support teachers when addressing attitudes among young people about a range of negative consequences from alcohol consumption.
