The Health Act 2006 will introduce legislation to make all enclosed workplaces and public places smoke free from summer 2007.
This doesn't mean that it's time to stop all work on smoking!
The Smoke Free School Award enhances the legislation by incorporating the grounds of your school as well as the buildings. A smoke free site is one component of National Healthy School Status.
Schools are in an ideal position to influence the health of the community they serve. The school environment, smoking education programme offered and the messages given about tobacco have key roles to play in reducing smoking amongst young people, staff and visitors.
The Smoke Free School Awards are here to recognise and celebrate good practice in smoking prevention and education. For more information, download the flyers below.
