Dear Parent/Carer,
Revision of our Drug and Alcohol policy
As you may be aware, schools must have rules about managing drug-related incidents and about the administration and storage of prescribed medicines. Furthermore, as part of the National Curriculum, the children are educated about drugs.
We acknowledge that as a school we share responsibility for the education of our children with you, their parents and carers. For this reason we would like to consult you in the review of our ‘Drug and Alcohol Education Policy’. Not only will this help you to understand the school’s stance and approach to drug related issues, but it will also help us to ensure that the views of the wider school community are considered so that we can work together to achieve the successful implementation of this policy.
Please therefore find attached a copy of the draft proposed policy summary. I would be very grateful if you could spare ten minutes to read through the policy and then let me have any comments you would like to make.
I am happy to convene a meeting to discuss the policy if you think this would help.
Thank you in advance for your time and help in this matter.
Yours sincerely,
Kate Robertson
PSHE Co-Ordinator
