Teachers and others involved in drugs education, such as police and health professionals, will be able to study for a new Certificate in Drugs Prevention in the New Year. The one-year part-time pilot programme developed by London’s Roehampton Institute and the North-west London Home Office Drugs Prevention Initiative is open to anyone involved in drugs education in schools in the London boroughs of Brent, Ealing, Hammersmith and Fulham, Kensington Chelsea and Westminster.
The aim is to co-ordinate education about drugs and to give participants a wider knowledge of drugs and a good understanding of effective prevention and education strategies.
