answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/06/2015 answer text <p>To increase awareness of the risks of new psychoactive substances (NPS), the Government recently introduced the Psychoactive Substances Bill, which will bring in a blanket ban of NPS by prohibiting and disrupting production, distribution, sale and supply in the UK. The Bill will give police and other law enforcement agencies greater powers to tackle the trade in NPS, targeting suppliers who profit from their sale with complete disregard for the potential risks and consequences. As the Bill passes through parliament there will be various communication and media opportunities to raise awareness of the dangers of NPS.</p><p>There is a wide-ranging cross-Government programme of work in place to tackle new psychoactive substances (NPS), including activity to raise awareness and tackle use amongst young people. For example, we have:</p><p>• in March 2015, published a resource pack, written in partnership with front line practitioners, to enable those working with young people to have conversations with NPS users and challenge their drug use by raising awareness of the risks and consequences.</p><p>• delivered a new online resilience building resource, ‘Rise Above’, aimed at 11 to 16-year-olds, which provides resources to help develop skills to make positive choices for their health, including avoiding drug use.</p><p>• continued to update FRANK, the Government’s drugs information and advice service, to reflect new and emerging patterns of drug use and evolve to remain in line with young people’s media habits.</p><p>• the Home Office Forensic Early Warning System (FEWS) was set up in January 2011 to bolster national capacity to identify new psychoactive substances (NPS) available in the UK. It brings together expertise from forensic laboratories and chemical standard suppliers, UK-wide law enforcement agencies and experts in the field. FEWS continues to enable us to effectively assess the availability of NPS and take appropriate action.</p><p>• every year since 2009, Ministers have written to approximately 50 music festival organisers highlighting NPS dangers and calling on them to adopt a ‘no-legal highs’ policy for their festivals.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 08/06/2015 10:47:58 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning
