Our commitment to the provision of high-quality, evidence-based drug education for young people is contained in the set of ten principles below.
They apply to drug education across a range of settings, including schools and informal community settings, and are based on an international evidence base of effective practice in drug education2.
Briefing, updates and networking events will be provided termly, including the opportunity to hear from a range of expert speakers, and opportunities to share best practice, resources and updates from other providers.
The DEF is led by a steering group of organisations working broadly across the drug education and harm reduction sector, with an advisory group providing expert oversight.
