Rehab News:Schools get guidance on preventing alcohol abuse

The government's health watchdog has published new guidance for schools to help prevent and reduce alcohol use among pupils.

The recommendations, which were published on Wednesday (November 28th) by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (Nice), include making alcohol education an integral part of the national science curriculum in order to increase awareness of the potential damage that alcohol abuse can cause.

Parents and carers should be offered information about how to develop their parenting skills, according to Nice, and concerned teachers, school nurses and school counsellors should offer brief, one-on-one advice to young people who they believe may be at risk of alcohol misuse.

The guidance also recommends that partnerships should be formed between head teachers, school governors, health school leads, school nurses and extended services to support alcohol education.

"Many different factors have an influence on alcohol consumption among children and young people, including peer pressure, the media and the availability and cost of alcohol," said Andrew Dillon, chief executive of Nice.

"It is important that we now have national guidance for tackling this issue so that we can do everything possible to delay the onset of drinking and reduce the harmful effects of alcohol use."

Professor Catherine Law, chair of Nice's Public Health Interventions Advisory Committee, noted that reducing the harm caused by alcohol "is in all of our interests".

"By incorporating alcohol education into the national science and PSHE curricula - for example through increasing knowledge of the potential damage that alcohol can cause physically, mentally and socially - and helping young people develop decision-making skills, we can help prevent them from getting into trouble with alcohol," she claimed.
