SDERA
Whole School Approach
SDERA produces numerous, user friendly resources to support schools who are implementing a whole school approach in resilience, drug education or road safety. Resources are based on best practice research including the Health Promoting Schools Framework and include a range of easy-to-use tools and templates, sample action plans, drug and road safety education guidelines, and other information that will support a whole school approach. Schools can download the documents straight from the resources or can adapt them to suit their school context and needs.
Whole School Drug Education Plan (School Drug Education Guidelines)
Research shows that school drug education opens up a dialogue about drugs and consequences of drug use that can increase help seeking behaviour where concerns around drug use exist. Having a drug education plan that is documented and shared across the whole school community is protective of staff as well as students and also ensures that parents understand the school’s intentions to work proactively when drug use issues arise. SDERA can help you to develop a whole school drug education plan (School Drug Education Guidelines).
Fact Sheets
School Drug Education and Road Aware (SDERA) have consulted and collaborated with teachers and community members to identify content that can provide support and assistance to schools. These fact sheets have been funded by and developed in partnership with the Department of Education.
