1 Tuition, Medical and Behaviour Support Service Drugs and Alcohol Policy Adopted: January 2017 Next Review: January 2018 Governing Committee: January 2018 Responsibility: Greg Portman
2 TMBSS is committed to tackling drug misuse amongst pupils. In managing any incidents, the following tenets must apply The welfare of all the pupils is paramount Parental involvement is necessary The requirements of the Law and local procedure (this policy) will be upheld The management of Drug Related Incidents at TMBSS 1.0 Drug Misuse 1.1 The Government defines Drug Misuse as the non-medical use of drugs that are only intended for use in medical treatment, and the use of drugs that have no accepted medical purpose. Such drugs are controlled under the Misuse of Drugs act (The act does not cover solvent misuse) 1.2 Classification of drugs Class A Class B Class C Heroin, Methadone Amphetamines Mild amphetamines (speed) Opium, Cocaine, Barbiturates Tranquilisers Crack cocaine LSD Codeine DF118 (painkillers) Ecstasy, Processed Cannabis (all forms) Magic Mushrooms Any Class B drug which is injected 1.3 The Government s overall drugs strategy focuses in illegal drugs only and a clear distinction must be maintained between illegal drugs and others. These other substances may raise common issues.
3 2.0 The Law on Drugs 2.1 It is an offence under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971: To supply or offer a controlled drug to another in contravention of the act; To be in possession of, or to possess with the intent to supply another, a controlled drug in contravention to the Act; it is a defence to the offence of possession that, knowing or suspecting it to be a controlled drug, the accused took possession of it for the purpose of preventing another from committing to continuing to commit an offence and that as soon as possible after taking possession of it he/she took all such steps as were reasonably open to him/her to destroy the drug or to deliver it into the custody of a person lawfully entitled to take custody of it; For the occupier or someone concerned in the management of any premises knowingly to permit or suffer on those premises: the smoking of cannabis, or the production, attempted production, supply, attempted supply, or offering to supply any controlled drug. 3.0 Dealing with Drugs 3.1 The school will liaise closely with the local police force to ensure that there will be agreement for dealing with any incidents which might arise involving illegal drugs. The head of service will be responsible for this or a designated member of SLT. 3.2 The staff dealing with an incident will, wherever possible, take possession of any substance suspected of being a controlled drug. 3.3 The school will hand the substance to the police, who will be able to identify whether it is an illegal drug: school staff should not attempt to analyse or taste any unidentified substance. 3.4 Whenever possible, any quantity of suspected substance must be taken to a secure place. This should be done in presence of the person from whom it has been taken and another adult. The suspected substance must be placed in a sealed envelope and the details/time/quantity should be recorded on the outside. The envelope should then be placed in a secure place. 3.5 Where pupils are suspected of concealing illegal drugs on their person, every effort should first be made to secure a voluntary production of
4 any unlawful substance, e.g., by asking them to turn out their pockets and bags preferably in the presence of another adult. If the pupil refuses, the police should be called to deal with the situation. 3.6 Where a member of staff is told, or is aware, of possible criminal activity outside school premises, they must inform the Head of Service or DSL, who will inform the police in the interests of safeguarding the health and safety of people in the surrounding area. 3.7 All incidents involving drugs must be reported to the Head of Service. 3.8 The Head of Service will retain the responsibility for deciding how to respond to particular incidents involving illegal drugs. The Head of Service will consider each incident individually, and reinforce that a variety of responses may be necessary. The implications of any action taken will be considered very carefully. The following has been provided and will contribute to, but not constrain, the Head of Service s decision making: Whether: The substance known/admitted? The substance legal? If not, what category does it fall into? There any intention to supply others? The quantity such that it could only be for personal use by the possessor? The possessor of previous good conduct? Summary of responses available Confiscation of the substance. Involving parents. Offering counselling Referral to external agencies Institute disciplinary procedures Inform the police of any relevant information. 4.0 Signs of Drug Misuse or Substance Misuse 4.1 Early detection of drugs misuse is extremely important. If a young person s drugs misuse is identified at an early stage, it is easier for action to be taken to prevent further misuse of drugs. Teachers and non-teaching staff should be alert to the warning signs which may indicate that a pupil is misusing drugs. Teacher need to be particular vigilant when they are in charge of activities which take groups away from school premises. 4.2 Some of the main signs which may be associated with drugs misuse are summarises in Table 1, 2, and 3. The presence of these signs alone is not conclusive proof of drug or solvent misuse; many of them are part of normal adolescent behaviours. All incidents must be reported to the Head of Service.
5 5.0 Dealing with non-illegal substances (e.g. alcohol, solvents, cigarettes, poppers) 5.1 The precepts which underpin the school s approach to illegal substances, also apply to the use/misuse of other substances. 6.0 The school will act in these cases within the letter and spirit relevant legislation but will work in partnership with parents and other agencies as necessary from the outset.
6 Referral Procedure for dealing with substance use/misuse problems (This covers legal substances such as Tobacco, Alcohol, Solvents, Medicines and Illegal substances such as Cannabis, Amphetamines, Ecstasy, and LSD etc.) Suspected Drugs related Incident has occurred NO Is the young person/people unconscious?
