New resources for school drug and alcohol education KS 1-4
Wednesday 16th September 2020
Resource pack developed with PSHE Association for drug, alcohol and tobacco education lessons
Public Health England has worked with the PSHE Association to develop a resource pack for drug, alcohol and tobacco education lessons for Key Stages 1-4.
This resource pack will be published on 17 September 2020, and will include lesson plans and resources for each key stage, as well as a comprehensive teacher guidance document and a briefing paper on the evidence base underpinning effective drug and alcohol education.
The Department for Education (DfE)’s statutory guidance for Health Education requires that pupils be taught the facts and risks associated with drug, alcohol and tobacco use. At key stages 3 and 4 this extends to the facts, laws, risks and consequences associated with drug, alcohol and tobacco use and the dangers of drugs that are prescribed, but still present serious health risks.
