We have a Healthy Schools Coordinator and have established a Healthy Schools Steering Group.
We have clear processes in place for responding to drug, alcohol, smoking and vaping-related incidents and all members of staff are fully aware of (exclusion as not an automatic response).
We deliver age-appropriate drugs, alcohol, smoking and vaping education as part of PSHE, to all pupils, in all year groups.
All members of staff delivering education on drugs, alcohol, smoking and vaping, have the knowledge and skills to be able to do this confidently and effectively.
We have a good understanding of the needs of our school population and have clear strategies in place to identify pupils at risk of, or using drugs, alcohol, smoking or vaping and/or affected by the substance use of parents/ carers or others.
Pupils and staff are aware of the support available for drugs, alcohol, smoking and vaping, for themselves (pupils and staff) and for others, including parents/ carers.
