Previous Page Mission: To make health a top priority for everyone in Northern Ireland. Press Release 16.11.98 Key role for parents in drug education Two out of every three parents in Northern Ireland are worried that their children may get involved in taking drugs or solvents, according to research commissioned by the Health Promotion Agency for Northern Ireland. The figure was revealed today, the beginning of European Drug Prevention Week, as the Agency launched the third phase of a major public information campaign on drugs. The aim of the campaign is to encourage parents to talk to their children about drugs. Parents will be targeted with television advertising and support materials. Speaking at the launch from Sprucefield Shopping Centre, Lisburn, Rob Phipps, Alcohol and Drugs Programme Manager for the Health Promotion Agency said: "We all know that drugs are out there, so young people are at risk of experimenting and becoming involved in more regular drug taking. We also know that young people in Northern Ireland acknowledge the role their parents have in respect of drug education. Young people will listen to their parents about drugs if the information they are receiving is accurate and consistent."

Additional Information Introduction Dr David Kemp Minister for Education, Training and Youth Affairs Dear Parent, Our children are precious and we want them to have a safe place in which to learn and grow. We expect schools to be safe and healthy – and, of course, most of the time they are. But drug-taking among young people can make school a less safe and healthy place for all students, whether they use drugs or not. My reason for sending you this pamphlet is to let you know what is being done in schools across Australia to prevent drug abuse by young people and to help those who do get into trouble. All the Governments of Australia – the Federal Government, and all the State and Territory Governments – are working together on a National School Drug Education Strategy, for which my parliamentary Secretary, the Hon Trish Worth MP, has responsibility.

Skip to navigation links School life - If things go wrong: Drugs, alcohol and tobacco Education about the dangers Schools have a responsibility to provide drug education and consider their response to drug misuse. They do this by working in partnership with parents, health and social services, police and other agencies. Drug education should include illegal drugs, medicines, alcohol, tobacco and volatile substances such as glue. Schools are encouraged to draw up drug education policies. Schools should involve parents in the development of their policy on drugs and keep you informed as to what your child will learn and when.  Read below some frequently asked questions (FAQs) from parents on drugs education: What is my child's school teaching about drugs? There's nothing unusual in this, and certainly doesn't mean the school has a drug problem. All schools must teach about drugs, alcohol and tobacco as part of the science curriculum, and many discuss the issues in their Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) programmes. However, teachers only talk about what is appropriate for the different age groups.  Isn't it too early to start teaching children about drugs, alcohol and tobacco at primary school?

Skip to navigation links What children learn - Curriculum and assessment: Personal, social and health education About PSHE Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) has been a non-statutory part of the National Curriculum since September 2000. It is structured to provide pupils with learning opportunities through which they can be taught the knowledge, skills and understanding to take responsibility for themselves, show respect for others and to develop the self awareness and confidence needed for life. Effective PSHE teaching in schools will support parents in helping their children to develop the ability to make informed, healthy and responsible decisions about their lives. PSHE is taught throughout all four Key Stages (ages 5-16) and covers a wide range of learning opportunities that reflect the needs of young people in their personal and social development. These cover: sex and relationship education; drug, alcohol and tobacco education improving confidence to lead a healthy and safe lifestyle managing personal money careers education  Schools take responsibility for the choice of resources and teaching strategies for the delivery of PSHE which are appropriate for the age range and cultural identity of their pupils. There are specific statutory requirements for sex and relationship education (SRE), drug education, and careers education and guidance. All schools should have policies on SRE and drug education (including drug related incidents) developed in consultation with teachers, parents, governors and the wider school community. In primary schools the teaching of SRE is discretionary, but where taught the policy must detail the content and organisation. Secondary schools must have an SRE programme which includes teaching about HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections. Parents have the right to withdraw pupils from part or all of SRE, except for those elements which are included in National Curriculum science.
