Employee Drug Testing UK

Services for Schools

In response to the modern increase in drug misuse among the younger generation, both parents and teachers are increasingly worried. And rightfully so. Drug abuse problems can not only harm our youth (physically, psychologically and in their career prospects), but can spread like a virus through exposure and peer pressure, if left unchecked. How to identify where a drug problem has arisen, and how best to tackle such problems, are crucial aspects of dealing with drug related problems. Mansionhouse are able to provide all the guidence and support necessary for a school to to be pro-active in such areas.

By educating those who are in a position to make a difference, by exposing problem areas, and by providing counselling and support for drug misuse victims, we are able to give our young generation a much better chance at life. Below are descriptions of some of our services specifically tailored for schools.

Drug Testing
In some countries it is commonplace for public school pupils to be tested for illegal drugs. This is not a decision that has been taken lightly. As a result of years of research and deliberation, any negatives of the situation have been balanced against the positive impact of a drug free school yard. It is widely accepted that a drug free work place is a desirable environment for an employer. This sentiment applies equally, if not more so, to the environment in which pupils and students receive their education.

In the UK, high profile politicians have stated that drug testing is likely to be effective in reducing illegal drug use among pupils. This high profile political support has meant this practise is now becoming more widespread within the UK. Our drug testing service is part of our School Service and is the first point of call in identifying problem areas. Many school pupils within the UK are already tested by our highly trained staff.

Training & Education
An alternative to drug testing, or an effective additional measure, is in the appropriate training of staff. Our comprehensive program covers many areas related to the problem of drug and substance abuse. For example, physical signs of drug taking, paraphenalia, how to identify the actual substances and much more.

Counselling
In addition to the above services, our trained counsellors at Mansionhouse Healthcare can provide any additional emotional support and guidance in the form of counselling to victims of drug abuse. This can be hugely effective in assisting people to come to terms with any problems that might have initially led to the drug use. With a proper program of counselling the chances of a relapse into illegal drug use are greatly reduced.
