| dc.description | The Rapid Response Group met on a number of occasions during the months of October and November 2019. The report that follows sets out the context to the problem of drug use facing students in our Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). The RRG looked at a number of examples of existing good practice in our sector but it is acknowledged the examples provided are by no means exhaustive. Drawing on these examples, the experience of the team assembled, and the learnings from both existing research the RRG developed sixteen suggested actions categorised under the headings Institutional Leadership, Student Engagement, Community Engagement and Service Provision. Of these suggested actions the four leading actions that all HEIs are recommended to undertake are:
Each Higher Education Institution should develop a Drug and Alcohol policy specific to the HEI.
Each Higher Education Institution should develop and implement a Drug and Alcohol Action Plan specific to the HEI.
Each Higher Education Institution should assign to a Senior Officer of the HEI, the responsibility for leading the development of the Policy and the implementation of the Action Plan.
Each Higher Education Institution should facilitate student engagement with the collection of national level data on drug use in HEIs. | en |
