Drug Education News

The BBC report on the police and local authority in Newcastle working together on a protocol for dealing with drug and alcohol incidents in schools. The story says the protocol will include:

what schools should do in relation to police and what treatment is available to pupils involved in alcohol or drug-related incidents.

Letters outlining the new procedures are being sent out to parents.

This comes ahead of guidance from the Association of Chief Police Officers on how the police should work with schools on drug education and drug incidents, which should be published in the next few months.
