Specific endangered species mentioned are the Hawksbill turtle threatened by wildlife trade and marine animals impacted by accidental bycatch in fishing nets. The speech urges action is needed to protect animals from human-caused endangerment.

The document provides estimates of the number of opiate and/or crack users between the ages of 15-24 years broken down by region. It also includes prevalence rates per thousand of the population for opiate and/or crack use among 15-24 year olds by region. The data presented gives a breakdown of drug use statistics for young people by geographic area.
- The document discusses drug use among young adults aged 16-19 in the UK based on surveys from 2010-2011. It finds that while over 40% have used an illicit drug in their lifetime, lifetime and recent drug use among this group is declining.
- Specifically, the surveys found that most 16-19 year olds think cannabis and cocaine use is never acceptable. However, cocaine use among 16-24 year olds has risen 5.5% since 1996 while other drug use has decreased.
- Around 20% of young people used an illicit drug in the last year and 11% in the last month, continuing downward trends compared to 1996. Mephedrone use was similar to cocaine as the second
The document summarizes drug death statistics from England, Wales, and Scotland in 2010. It finds that there were 2,747 drug poisoning deaths in England in 2010, including 1,784 from drug misuse. Scotland saw 485 drug-related deaths, the third highest on record, while 60 young people under 20 died of drug poisoning in England and Wales, with 35 from misuse. The data comes from several sources tracking drug deaths in each region.
1) Drinking rates among young people in England have declined, with 13% drinking in the last week compared to 26% in 2001, though 1 in 5 drink weekly by age 15.
2) Parents and friends are the main sources of alcohol for young people, while parties have become more common venues for drinking.
3) While most young people see their parents as disapproving of underage drinking, nearly a quarter think it's okay to get drunk weekly by age 15.
The survey questioned 7,296 pupils aged 11 to 15 from 246 schools in England about their drug use. Only 0.2% of pupils reported taking the fictional drug "Semeron", supporting the view that most pupils do not exaggerate drug use in surveys. The results also showed rates of cannabis and Class A drug use in the last year, drugs used by age, frequency of drug use, effects of truancy on Class A drug use, being offered drugs, sources of drug education, and receiving drug education that year.
Drug offences for trafficking and possession have declined over the period from 2004/05 to 2010/11. The number of drug offences recorded by police in England and Wales fell by 21% between 2004/05 and 2010/11. Cautions and convictions for drug offences also decreased substantially over this period.
A survey of over 12,000 15-24 year olds across the EU found that three quarters had never used cannabis, though 57% thought it was easy to obtain within 24 hours. 5% had used new psychoactive substances, mostly gotten from friends. Youth cited the internet and peers as top information sources on drugs. Over 90% saw regular cocaine or ecstasy use as highly risky to health. Over half thought cannabis and alcohol regular use also very risky. Over 90% wanted heroin, cocaine and ecstasy to remain banned.
Drug Education and Early Intervention in Nottingham City SchoolsPublic Health England
The document discusses a drug education and early intervention program called DrugAware in Nottingham City Schools. The goals of the program are to educate young people about drugs and alcohol, provide support and early intervention, and reduce drug use and exclusions. Key aspects of the DrugAware model include a drug education curriculum, policy development support, parent/community engagement, and partnerships to allow for early intervention. Schools that implemented the program saw improvements in students' resilience, knowledge, and attitudes towards drugs, as well as decreases in permanent exclusions related to drugs.
This document outlines principles for schools and external visitors to follow when delivering drug education programs in partnership. It recommends that visitors be aware of effective drug education strategies, avoid inappropriate content, and reflect on sessions. Schools should negotiate content with visitors, ensure visitors understand school policies, and brief visitors on any student sensitivities. Teachers should be present during sessions, assess learning, and follow up on any issues. The goal is to have a positive experience that links to the school's broader drug education curriculum.
This document summarizes strategies that schools can use to prevent youth crime and antisocial behavior based on international evidence. Effective prevention interventions for individuals work with smaller groups, are delivered by program originators, and use cognitive behavioral techniques for higher risk youth aged 12 or more. Schools can create an environment for prevention through reorganizing grades/classes, altering classroom management, improving school discipline policies, and teaching social skills using cognitive behavioral methods. Interventions that do not work and should be avoided include those focused on coercion/control, boot camps, unstructured counseling or training, and programs that group high-risk students without structure.
The government have promised an internal review of Personal, Social, Health and Economic education.
This briefing paper looks at their public statements on the review and sets out some of the things the Drug Education Forum would like to see emerge from the review.
The document outlines principles of good drug education based on best practices from several countries. It discusses the importance of having an environment that is responsive to cultural views and evidence-based, a curriculum that is relevant to students' developmental stages and managed given resources, and content that explores attitudes and develops social skills using credible sources. The document also stresses the need for evaluation of programs through assessment, monitoring, and impact evaluation.
This document from the World Health Organization contains data on alcohol consumption and abstention rates across various European countries. It shows the proportion of former and lifetime abstainers from alcohol by country in Europe. It also includes data on average recorded adult alcohol consumption per capita in liters by country for Europe as well as the UK specifically from 1961-2006. Additionally, it presents age-standardized death rates related to alcohol for those aged 15+ in the UK.
The document discusses drug, alcohol, and substance abuse among young people in London and the UK. It notes that drug use results in high costs to the London Ambulance Service and police. While most schools provide drug education once a year or less, proven programs like Life Skills Training that are implemented in US schools have been shown to reduce substance abuse and have a cost benefit ratio of $25 saved for every $1 invested. The document calls for increased funding for early intervention and prevention programs in schools to address substance abuse among youth.
The document discusses early intervention strategies for children aged 0-18 and makes several recommendations. It recommends that 19 top early intervention programs be expanded, 15 Early Intervention Places be established locally to spearhead development, and an independent Early Intervention Foundation be created to support local efforts and expansion of effective programs. The foundation would maintain a database of cost-effective local programs and encourage new investment in early intervention.
Local authorities spent money from 2008 to 2011 on substance misuse services for children and young people. However, the data shown only reflects local authority funding and may not include all spending from other sources like primary care trusts. While not a complete picture, the data provides an important benchmark to understand how local authorities have supported substance misuse services for young people over time.
