In 2021, under the national drugs strategy, ‘Reducing Harm, Supporting Recovery 2017-2025’ the Department of Education, in conjunction with the national network of drug and alcohol taskforces, developed and circulated an information resource for schools, providing information on the supports taskforces can provide to schools and parents to prevent and respond to drug and alcohol use. This resource which has since been updated, provides information on the various supports and programmes available to schools in addition to the contact details for all of the taskforces throughout the country. It also includes information for parents on the supports which are available to them and their families. See the resource here.
