Drug Education Course

This course is provided for people who have committed offences and the Police think that they will benefit from an Out of Court Disposal – either a Community Resolution or a Conditional Caution.

The Drugs Education Course runs for up to 3 hours, and is self-funded through a payment of £60 made by the participant.

One of the conditions of this outcome is to attend a Drug Education Course which is provided by Dyfodol on behalf of South Wales and Gwent Police forces and is available across both force areas. This may include:

  • Offences of simple possession of any controlled substance as classified under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971.

This course replaces Cannabis and Khat Warnings and applies to all Class A, B and C drugs and novel psychoactive substances.
