В Дорсете расширят программу антинаркотического воспитания в начальных школах

DRUG education in Dorset is to be extended to junior schools. “We are now getting children as young as six getting into illegal substances and County Lines and we need to do more,” said the county’s Police and Crime Commissioner David Sidwick. He said the anti-drug message was no longer funded by the Government and was now being funded locally. “That programme has been developed in order to talk about drug education in junior schools,” he told a meeting of the pan-Dorset police and crime panel meeting in Bournemouth on Thursday. “I am very clear that we have to go earlier,” said the PCC. He also told the meeting that 12 Dorset schools had now taken the step of banning smart phones completely, which he said he was pleased about. Discussions at previous Dorset police and crime panel meetings have heard that there was often a link between the use of the phones by young people and anti-social behaviour, including bullying.
