We are flexible and can provide taster sessions as part of a whole day program. You tell us what you need and we will provide it.

For 5-7 year olds we teach:

• Understanding about medicines ie that all medicines are drugs, but not all drugs are medicines
• All substances can be harmful if not used properly

For 8-12 year olds we use some of the same materials as for the
5-7 year olds, with added resources that incude:- 

• Differences between illegal and legal drugs
• Emphasis on life consequences
• Exploration of own attitudes to drug use
