This free drugs training is suitable whether you are a parent, carer, employer, employee, friend or somebody who is worried about anyone who is or may be using drugs (legal and illegal substances). Kirklees Safer Communities Partnership www.saferkirklees.co.uk seeks to support you as much as possible - this free drugs training is part of that service.
Those coming into contact with drug users should be able to identify and respond appropriately to the individuals needs. Users frequently report that it is through having the support of someone who understands that they could talk to, which has helped them get through difficult times. Suitable training can bring about an understanding about drugs which assists in being there for someone in their time of need; effective drugs training can make a difference.
It is worth remembering that most people who use drugs do not come to serious harm, however unfortunately for some who abuse drugs this can lead to problems for themselves and others.
Free access to this United Kingdom drugs training resource has been made possible by financial support of the Kirklees Drug Action Team (DAT) and The Neighbourhood Renewal Fund (NRF) which aims to enable local authorities, in collaboration with their Local Strategic Partnership (LSP), to improve services, narrowing the gap between deprived areas and the rest of the country www.neighbourhood.gov.uk. This resource is accessible to anyone irrespective of where they reside or work.
