We were thrilled to welcome Anji Haywood from The Youth Net back to our school for another insightful session on drug and alcohol awareness. Following her impactful visit with our Year 11 cohort last week, Anji returned to educate our Sixth Form pupils about the crucial aspects of substance abuse.

During her session, Anji engaged our pupils in a discussion about the effects of drug and alcohol abuse, emphasising the importance of making informed choices. She shed light on the number of units present in different alcoholic beverages and highlighted the legal limits for driving, which shockingly is less than one unit!

Anji also provided invaluable safety tips for nights out, including strategies to prevent spiking, and guidance on how to respond in such situations. It’s essential for our young adults to be equipped with this knowledge to navigate social settings safely.

Moreover, Anji delved into the side effects of nicotine addiction, addressing both smoking and vaping, and highlighted the dangers associated with drug use. These discussions are pivotal in fostering a culture of awareness and responsibility among our pupils.

We’re immensely grateful to Anji for her dedication to educating our pupils and empowering them to make informed decisions regarding their health and well-being.
