Welcome

The Drug Education Forum is the umbrella body for national organisations that deliver or support the delivery of drug education in England.

Welcome

The Drug Education Forum is a forum of national organisations committed to improving the practice and profile of drug education in England, we hope that this website contributes to that aim.
We believe that drug education should help children and young people develop their knowledge about drugs, their skills in taking decisions, and to develop a positive attitude towards their own health.

Drug education mustn't be a subject just for schools or the youth service; evidence suggests that parents and carers who talk to their children regularly about drugs, alcohol and tobacco have a benificial effect.

Call for Expression of Interest The Drug Education Forum is calling for expressions of interest to write a briefing document on the evidence for effective drug education. [more].

Statement of Beliefs The Forum's members believe that drug education should be an entitlement for all children and young people, and should include legal, illegal and illicit drugs [more].
