CORE THEME 1: PSHE (Drugs, Alcohol and Tobacco)
|
There is more infomation on the CHESS / DICE website
Drugs education is an important part of the PSHE Core Theme and will need to be a part of your planned programme of PSHE based on the QCA guidance.
See the national framework for PSHE for what drugs education is appropriate
The QCA Drug, Alcohol and Tobacco Education Guidelines have schemes of work for KS1 to KS4 as well as good teachers' notes / information:
Teachers' Booklet
Unit A: Keeping ourselves and others safe
Unit B: Risk-taking and dealing with pressure
Unit C: Building knowledge and understanding about drugs - practising skills to deal with situations
Have you seen the CHESS / DICE resource, which was produced locally and is in all schools?
In the primary school Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning (SEAL) provides a terrific drugs education foundation by helping to develop pupils' self esteem and confidence and building their key skills and attitudes.
A good starting point is the Drugs Education / Incidents Policy.
- Have you got one? (you should have!)
- Does it need updating?
- Have you consulted pupils and parents about the content?
- What have you done about implementing it?
