Drugs awareness DVD

A new interactive DVD, entitled Get Real has been developed by the Scottish Crime and Drug Enforcement Agency (SCDEA) and Scottish police forces, in partnership with the Scottish Executive`s Know the Score campaign.

It contains a number of video clips detailing the real life effects of drugs, alcohol and tobacco on individual users, their families, and the wider community. Information and graphics on the law, the effects of drugs on the body, and photographs of individual drugs are also included.

The DVD also forms the core of a new Scottish Police College drug education course, which will provide national training to police officers and support staff involved in drug education on how to deliver substance awareness presentations in schools.
