About
The Alcohol Education Trust's vision is for young people to enter adulthood having a responsible understanding of alcohol and its short and long term effects. The charity works with children of all abilities and backgrounds before they begin drinking, helps them build resilience skills, supports them in knowing how to avoid and resist risky situations, and advises on how to look after themselves and each other in a variety of settings.

Ready Prepared Lessons for Pupils with SEND
We are thrilled to have fully updated our SEN resources into 4 PowerPoint lesson plans and guidance using emojis, pictures and stories. You can download these resources here. Although expertly designed for children with moderate learning needs, you may choose to use these lessons for the whole class. The topics cover feelings and emotions, consent as well as foundation learning. The lessons can work independently or be used in conjunction with our activity boxes which are full of resources. Thanks to wonderful grant funding we are able to support schools and alternative settings with a high number of SEN children with these lessons and resources free of charge.
Although fully piloted, we are also looking for schools to volunteer to give detailed feedback and evaluation. To find out more, or to order an accompanying activity box, please email kate@alcoholeducationtrust.org
