This section of the Know the Score site is for parents and carers.
Kids hear stuff about drugs all the time. Some of it is true, but a lot of it is gossip, exaggerated, muddled or just made up.
This is why it's important that you know the facts yourself. Then you can tell your kids what's fact and what's ficton.
This section aims to answer some of your questions about drugs and familiarise you with some of the facts that can help you help your kids. The links on the right-hand side will help guide you through the information and the Parents Guide (pictured) is a useful booklet.
Download the booklet here (PDF, 1Mb) or by clicking on the picture.
Read the basic facts about drugs, browse the A-Z of Drugs, find out what you need know, why people become involved in drugs, as well as the law relating to drugs.
There are also contact details of where to get help, first aid tips and the number for the free confidential drugs information and advice call Know the Score on 0800 587 587 9.
