The Chesterfield College Group are pleased to be working with Derbyshire County Council as part of the Coriell Drug and Alcohol Education Award.
‘Coriell’ is an ancient Roman word that describes the tribal collaboration of addressing challenges. Our modern day ‘Coriell’ is a collaboration of schools and partners to address the challenges of drug and alcohol use in the comunities our children are growing up in.
Underpinned in the whole school/college approach, Coriell is supported by Derbyshire partners including Derbyshire Constabulary, CGL and Derby and Derbyshire Safeguarding Children’s Partnership.
