School based interventions on alcohol


Interventions in schools to prevent and reduce alcohol use among children and young people.

Summary | Documents | Implementation | Development history

Summary This NICE guidance on school based interventions to prevent and reduce alcohol use is aimed at anyone who works with children and young people in schools and other education settings. It gives advice on incorporating alcohol education into the national science and personal, social and health education (PSHE) curricula, and helping children and young people access the right support. It also looks at how to link these interventions with community initiatives, including those run by children's services. There are no national guidelines on what constitutes safe and sensible alcohol consumption for children and young people, so the recommendations focus on: encouraging children not to drink, delaying the age at which young people start drinking and reducing the harm it can cause among those who do drink.
