Mentor UK undertook a review of the drug education provision in secondary schools across Brighton and Hove in Sept 2015-Feb 2016 to ensure evidence-based delivery. Activities were informed by, and monitored against, national and international evidence. On the basis of this review, Mentor supported Brighton and Hove City Council to implement an improvement plan, working towards a multi-agency approach to prevention.
This project is a positive case study, relevant to both EUSPR aims and the specific focus of the 2016 conference, showcasing how practitioners can contribute to local capacity building through developing and strengthening sustainable prevention systems at local level. The drug education review in Brighton and Hove not only allowed Mentor to work closely with schools to understand the current capacity and expertise, but also made links and developed strategies to strengthen communication and collaboration with other relevant actors within the community.
Specifically, this project highlighted best practice and effective methods to develop and strengthen systemic and functional networks for enhancing sustainable drug prevention at local level.
This model is likely to have significant interest from EUSPR colleagues because similar reviews, if replicated and scaled at national level, will enable Local Authorities or regional Public Health services to build effective local preventative systems, developed with, and grounded in the community. This is a major asset to ensure capacity building and self-sustainability at local level.
This session will combine research evidence and practice, ensuring lack of overlap with recent EUSPR conference sessions, mainly informed by, and analysed through a research evidence perspective.
Key objectives of this session will be:
- Sharing best practice – overcoming challenges
- Using findings to shape policy and advocacy opportunities
- Exploring the replicability of this project in other countries, including other risky behaviours.
With the aim of:
- Drafting common standards
- Developing collaboration opportunities
