New drug advice published for schools

The DfE and the Association of Chief Police Officers have produced new advice for schools on drug misuse.

The advice, which is non-statutory, covers schools' role in supporting pupils affected by their own or others' drug misuse. It advises all schools to have a drugs policy in place, which should be overseen by a senior member of staff.

Drug Advice for Schools can be downloaded from the DfE website.
