“I have recently received your information regarding alcohol education and was really impressed with the sensitive and ‘age appropriate’ way they have been written.”

“I would be very interested in the booklets for students and also the DVD.  We already use your online resources which we find very useful.”

“I got your details on www.drinkaware website. I am working with young people in the hairdressing industry and through our safeguarding procedure need to help teenager be aware of the dangers in drink. Have you any leaflets you could let me have for them to take away in a mini workshop i am planning. I thank you in anticipation.”

“As KS3 PSHE co-ordinator, I’m currently writing schemes of work around Legal and Illegal Drugs for Year 8. At least 2 of our lessons will be on alcohol, so I’d appreciate the chance to use the resources and short film on AIM’s DVD if you still have copies.”

“I am a Parent Support Adviser in the Falmouth district. Would it be possible for you to send me some resources on alcohol and the effects and damage it can do to your body. I would be grateful too if you could send me some information to give to parents of teenagers which I am currently working with, this hopefully supporting the children to make positive choices during their teenage years. If you have a DVD/CD of resources this would be very useful  as I could lend it out to parents who have difficulty in reading.”

“I would be very interested in being signed up for your email list. I will be researching the site with great interest – it could save me a lot of time trawling elsewhere!”

“I have just had a look at your booklet: Alcohol and You. Facts about alcohol, staying safe and what to do if things go wrong. I am very impressed with the booklet and we would like to use it at our school as part of our PSHE lessons.”

“I am a PSHE lead in a secondary school. I have looked at the website and teacher resources and it looks great and is definitely something I will be incorporating into my PSHE programme.”

“I have read both of your leaflets ‘Alcohol and you’ and ‘Talking to kids about Alcohol’ and I feel it is exactly the kind of information the students I teach need to hear.”

“Yes these were brilliant. We used the website and booklets in conjunction with Solomon Theatre performance and workshop and the kids loved it as well as learning!”

“I have just received a copy of the AET teacher workbook and resources!  Thank you so much, the standard of the resources in the Teacher workbook is excellent.  The student guide and parent guide  are informative and age appropriate.

Having previously purchased expensive alcohol educational resources from various companies I have found most to be lacking in detail and not age appropriate. I am planning to use your resources this term with year 9 and will feed back to you when the unit is completed. Once again, thank you and keep up the good work.”

“Many thanks for sending the booklet – it is really impressive and has lots of information in it.Your website is really useful and seems really young people friendly, I have attached it to the relevant pages on our website.”

“I have received your letter and leaflets-which look fantastic. I would like to order some of these- I have also had a look at the website and will definitely use and recommend it to others.”

“We gave your leaflets to all our year 9 and 10 parents who attended our ‘Meet the Tutor ‘evenings. We also had them available for parents on our Year 11 Parents Evening. I also gave a copy of the student leaflet to every girl in Years 9, 10 and 11.We put a copy of the DVD and the leaflets on our VLE , which can be accessed by all our parents, and we sent out a letter to parents of our year 9-11 students to make them aware that this was available.I am really grateful for your support and we may be able to make further use of your help in the future.”

“A fantastic website and set of resources.”

“Re workbook and DVD and booklets – All received and looking really useful – in fact I’ve just changed my plans for year 11 next lesson after looking at the teacher book 🙂.”

“Thank you so much Jane for the resources. The section on units will be a great help for my students. In fact the whole book is fantastic.”

“Helena, Thank you for taking the time to visit us. We all gained a great deal of very valuable knowledge from your session. I hope you have a relaxing weekend. It’s very well deserved 🙂.”

“The Alcohol Education trust have delivered training in school both to our staff and to our parents and we have used their educational materials within our PSHE lessons.We have found the student materials to be entirely suitable, well thought out and accessible, giving opportunities for discussion and reflection. The parent session was delivered at a Pastoral Evening and was very well received by parents who were both challenged in their assumptions and behaviours but equally supported in their situation of dealing with teenage behaviours. The staff training was both interesting and thought provoking as well, delivered on a TD Day. I also find access to the newsletters to be very valuable and a link to them is about to go live on a new pastoral support section of the school website for access by staff and students.I am sure that any grant that you were able to give would be used wisely to the benefit of young people in this, most important aspect of their lives.”

“You covered everything I can think of! I’m further informed about alcohol and the law and about activities that allow alcohol awareness learning to be fun’. ‘Very informative The information pack and interaction (using games) made it easier to follow and understand. Very good course”

“I think everything was covered – very informative. Interactive, informative, lots of good resources to take back, variety of materials. Catered for SEN pupils as well, fun activities for the kids. I think everything was perfect. Very happy I was able to come.”

“Thank you so much for the training you carried out last week, it was extremely informative and many staff have fed back that they now feel much better prepared for delivering SMSC around the topic of alcohol and its misuse. Despite it being a twilight session after a hard day’s work, your interactive style and delivery certainly engaged staff, which really was much appreciated. It was especially useful the way you took us through the exceptional resources, which really has equipped us for future delivery of the topic ourselves. I also commend you and your colleagues for the intention of upgrading resources as necessary, instead of witnessing the birth of yet another dodo!”

“Leweston School have been using AET resources in our PSHE lessons for a number of years. They are extremely accessible; very little preparation is needed in advance of a lesson.  There are numerous age appropriate activities with clear progression.  Students enjoy the various activities and tasks. The supplementary short video clips add more interest, and reinforce the message of the lesson. I would highly recommend AET to all schools.”

“AET provide invaluable INSET and informative presentations for parents struggling to find strategies to cope with their teenage children experimenting with alcohol.”
