We offer two courses on drugs awareness depending on the clients requirements. Courses can be tailored to suit the clients needs in respect of specific drug types or a more general course to suit all commonly abused drugs. Depending on the client’s wishes samples of real ‘street level’ drugs including Heroin, Amphetamines, Cannabis, Cocaine, ‘Crack’ Cocaine and Ecstasy (MDMA) are shown to delegates. If required the course can be modified to deal with Drug Facilitated Sexual Assault (Date Rape) with samples of GHB, Ketamine and some Benzodiazepines shown and described to delegates.
