As young people grow and become more independent, it can be a concerning time for parents and carers. You may want your child to have new experiences and friendships while still wanting them to be safe and protected. Drugs and alcohol are often a real concern as many young people will want to experiment and try new things. College is a place where they will meet new people and build new friendships and associations.
Our Personal Development curriculum will cover some elements of Drug and Alcohol safety/ harm-reduction. Many of our awareness days have representatives from agencies such as CGL who share harm-reduction information.
If you feel your child has been harmed or is at risk of harm linked to drug / alcohol misuse, please contact the Safeguarding Team on 01246500688 or email ccsafe@chesterfield.ac.uk
