Substance Misuse Risks
The aim of this two-module course is to increase school staff’s awareness of what substance misuse is and recognise the early indicators of misuse.
The modules in this course will cover the following content:
- What is Substance Misuse?
Module one explores the different categories of drugs, their effects, the prevalence of drug use, and why young people may use them.
- Responding to Children’s Needs around Alcohol and Drugs
Module two explores how to recognise the early indicators of misuse, the role of the school, good practice in supporting struggling young people, and what agencies and professional support services you can signpost to.
Reflective questions throughout the course offer learners additional opportunities to think about their understanding of appropriate disciplinary action within school and consider how they create a safe, inclusive working environment.
