Drugs awareness for parents

Abstract

Describes the Parents’ Drugs Awareness Evenings run by Cambridgeshire County Council as part of the Department of Education and Employment’s drugs education support. Emphasizes that such initiatives need to take place alongside others aimed at training teachers and governors. Outlines the need to set down clear aims and basic concepts for those attending parents’ evenings. Describes the content of the evenings, including sessions of audience participation, definitions of drugs, solvent abuse, alcohol use and abuse, primary school pupils’ knowledge of drugs, and advice on what parents can do to help their children.
