LITTLE DRUGS TRAINING FOR SCHOOLS ADMINISTRATION

There is very little drugs training specificially for school governors
or school boards in Northern Ireland, according to a new survey.

The snapshot survey questioned agencies concerned with supporting
schools in Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England.

The study found that one of the most frequently mentioned concern
(28%) in relation to schools' drug policies was how to deal with
drug-related incidents on school premises.
