About Us

Our aim is to develop and deliver a range of educational resources to help children and young people acquire and use the knowledge, understanding and skills that equip them to live safe, healthy and productive lives in a world where drugs are common place.

DARE, first started in America in 1983, and is the most experienced and proactive drugs educational organisation of its kind. In its 26 years of existence, it has constantly updated and revised its teaching programmes as more information has been discovered. It achieves this “best practice” teaching by spending millions of dollars on research programmes to ensure that they are “cutting edge” and effective. DARE is the only organisation of its kind that uses specially selected and trained ex and serving Police Officers to deliver its primary programme curriculum.
