Don′t panic – schools′ responses to drug incidents

Abstract

Summarizes some of the latest statistics concerning drug use by young people of school age. Emphasizes that every secondary school in the country has young people who use and come into regular contact with drugs. Outlines a set of good practice guidelines for schools on how to deal with drug incidents on their premises or by their students. Suggests that schools should develop their own policies, know the legal position, use sensible sanctions consistently and ensure that students know what the rules are and what penalties apply if they break them.
