The aims of the 'Keys to ....' series are to enhance the knowledge and understanding of a variety of key health issues; to develop and enhance the skills required; and to develop the self confidence and promote the wellbeing of children and young people to enable them to make an informed healthy choice.

Sex Drugs & Alcohol contains:
  • 15 core activities plus extension activities
  • 25 cartoon style illustrations showing situations common to young people
  • Background papers and support information for facilitators and teachers.

Feedback Recieved:

This resource has been used in our Adult Training Centre with the 16 to 19 year old residents during the weekly 'Looking after myself' sessions. The young women have found the several sessions that have dealt with issues out of the resource incredibly beneficial. In particular, the family planning, relationships and getting home safely sections have definitely made a difference to the young women as Sunraye and they are now much more aware of their actions in regarding relationships and spending social time in the community.

Save the Family


Sex education and the issues of drug and alcohol abuse are already comprehensively covered in our schools but these packs will help reinforce the messages we are trying to get across. The materials are excellent, particularly as they are designed for use with young people of all abilities. This Tacade resource aims to enable young people to make use of their own ideas, experiences and concerns as well as increasing their awareness and understanding of sexual health issues, and the risks associated with alcohol use and drug taking.
We want young people to be able to explore attitudes, values and feelings about sexuality and gender issues, prejudice and discrimination. It will also help them build on their personal and social skills.

Feedback Recieved:

We have used this manual in the weekend clubs for older children. The varied nature of the subjects has encouraged the children to join the clubs, and the most popular project has been the sections on citizenship and careers. The children who take part in these sessions have spent a long time suffering from the effects of social exclusion and therefore, they are subject to bullying and other dangers that the communities pose to them. The citizenship project has offered very useful advice on keeping safe in the community and how to deal positively with bullying. The careers project has brought about clear thinking from the children about their futures and until now, the children had not received any information or had any help from their families about careers and their hopes for the future.
