In Cornwall we have a new comprehensive Healthy Relationship Programme on offer to schools that is delivered by 3 amazing services; Safer Futures, Brook and Women’s Aid. These services are working together to ensure there is sufficient education and support across primary and secondary schools. These are targeted, age-appropriate programmes in primary and secondary schools and further education establishments and are free of charge.
Raise awareness of:
- Support available to young people using substances and the support that is available for young people who are affected by substance misuse
- Support that is available to parents with substance use difficulties
- The benefits of starting a Community Alcohol Partnership
- The YZUP schools programme which delivers PSHE Substance Awareness lessons and assemblies in schools
- The ability to access YZUP for consultation, support and bespoke training around substance use related behaviours
Develop a smoke free policy within your school, and make information on local stop-smoking support easily available to staff. All members of the school community should have access to accurate information on vaping. It is recommended that vaping is not allowed on school premises.
