We are a registered charity that has been developing and delivering drug and life skills education resources for UK school teachers since 1995. The recent Youth Endowment Fund 2024 report endorsed Life Skills Education’s Primary Programme as effective. If you want to be part of something special, apply now to become a DAaRT Officer.
Teachers who have worked closely with us found that:
“…the skills and experience of Life Skills DAaRT Officers were a key factor in effective delivery (of our programmes). A close joint working relationship between teachers and the (DAaRT) Officers was also seen as beneficial.”
As a charity, we aim to educate young people to lead safe and healthy lives by teaching them to assess risk and make informed decisions.
