Drugs and Alcohol Education

All our Drugs and Alcohol Education resources have been developed and piloted in partnership with Manchester schools.

Primary and secondary schools will find resources available below to support them with policy writing, good practice guidelines, relevant legislation, and curriculum development.

If you are struggling to find resources around a related topic area, please do get in touch to let us know: healthyschool.training@mft.nhs.uk

Drugs and alcohol education is fundamental for children and young people to grow up healthy and safe. Effective alcohol and drug education builds pupil resilience and life skills around alcohol and drugs. Developing children and young people's knowledge, skills, attitudes and values in school can support them to live safely in society.
