We’re excited to announce the launch of the new Drug Education Forum podcast series! This is the start of a monthly programme, providing an opportunity to dig deeper with some of our great event speakers, and explore emerging trends and issues for young people, with the overall aim of advancing evidence-based drug education and improving outcomes for young people – which is what the Drug Education Forum is all about.  

In our first episode, host Paul North, a seasoned drug education advocate and DEF steering committee member, sits down with Fiona Spargo-Mabbs OBE, Chair of the DEF and Director and Founder of the Daniel Spargo-Mabbs Foundation. Together, they explore the pressing challenges in drug education – sifting through vast, ever-changing information, countering media-driven misconceptions, and crafting evidence-based messages that connect with young people. They also discuss opportunities to empower educators, parents, and professionals through collaborative networks and innovative resources.
