The National Drugs Strategy 2001-2008 sets out a detailed programme of action to be implemented by Government Departments and Agencies to combat the very serious problem of drug misuse in our society. The strategy highlights the important contribution that schools can make in the area of education and prevention, and requires them to have substance use policies in place.
The document Guidelines for developing a School Substance Use Policy was issued to all primary and post-primary schools in 2002. The material in the template below has been drawn primarily from this document.
