Motion text
That this House notes with concern that there is currently no regulation requiring independent schools to provide drug education to their pupils; further notes that while state schools are mandated to deliver relationships, sex and health education, which includes drug education, independent schools are not bound by the same requirements and only offered guidance by the Department of Education; recognises the importance of ensuring all young people, regardless of the type of school they attend, receive accurate, effective and age-appropriate information about drugs and substance misuse; believes that all pupils should be equipped to make informed and safe choices; and calls on the Government to consider what steps can be taken to ensure that independent schools are required to deliver effective and appropriate drug education as part of a consistent national approach to safeguarding and public health.
