FRANK locally
We know that there are a number of partners who run their own local drugs campaigns on a regular basis and use FRANK as a way of reaching people with advice about drugs. As the national campaign runs we are keen to share examples of the action that is taking place locally. If you’d like to have your local project showcased then please email details to the FRANK team.
Background
The FRANK service is a key lever to deliver the 2010 government drug strategy. The service specifically addresses the objective to reduce demand, by preventing people from taking drugs in the first place. The strategy highlights that young people in particular need quality drug education to provide thorough knowledge of the effects and harms, and to give them skills and confidence to reject drugs.
