Whole school approach to vaping in schools
What support can we signpost families to?
Families may need support to talk to their children about vaping, especially if they have found out their child or young person (CYP) is vaping and are finding this upsetting or challenging. You may find it helpful to share these 'Top Tips on talking to your child about tricky topics' (PDF) [135KB]. We recommend you upload our guidance sheet to your school website, and/or link to this in any newsletters or communications to parents as relevant.
- Smokefree Sheffield have put together this fact sheet that you can share with your families: Vaping: The Facts | Smokefree Sheffield
- Just One Norfolk can also provide bespoke guidance and support to your families: Smoking, E-Cigs & Vaping (justonenorfolk.nhs.uk)
You can use the model letter to communicate to parents / carers about a vaping incident (Word doc) [15KB].
