This is an essential collection of photocopiable information sheets dealing with drugs and other substance misuse. They can be used to support INSET training or existing schemes, or can stand alone as a substance misuse scheme of work. The information sheets are clearly laid out, dealing with one substance at a time, and contain information about the appearance of a substance, the effects it has, how it is used, the dangers arising from use, implications for society, up to date statistics, current opinion regarding the substance, the legal status and points for consideration. Also covered are why young people take drugs, signs to watch for, the law, types of drugs use, definitions, factors affecting the effects of these substances, etc. Teachers can follow the resource through as it is laid out, or dip into it to use as support material for their own schemes. Although mainly for older students this resource can be used to support substance misuse schemes for all ages.
There are conflicting statements about drugs even within the resources available to schools. All comments, opinions and facts used in this publication draw upon the latest available information from reliable and established sources.
