About Us

Kirklees Council http://www.saferkirklees.co.uk/ and its partnership agencies provide local direction and leadership in implementing the Government's National Strategy for substance misuse. An important function of the authority and its partners is to plan what services will be needed by the people of Kirklees, and then commission and monitor that service delivery.

Whilst Kirklees offers classroom based training courses, this e-learning programme provides an ideal start point for anyone wanting to gain a basic understanding and general awareness of legal and illegal drugs (including alcohol), issues relating to young people and adults, safer injecting, assessment and care planning, reducing drug related deaths, motivational interviewing, recognition of signs and symptoms, agencies who can help and how you as an individual can provide support either as a professional or in the home environment.

The course was produced by e-learning WMB from classroom based content supplied by Kirklees Council.
