Parent/Carers’ Information Sessions

We know how difficult it can be for parents and carers to talk to their young people regarding these topics. All parents and carers are offered a chance to attend our information sessions. These will be either face to face in school, or on-line.

We will share information regarding:

  • How to support young people to quit,
  • Guidance around the laws on vaping
  • The impact it has on our environment
  • Withdrawal symptoms the young person may experience while quitting.
  • The signs to look for, if you suspect your young person maybe vaping.

We will update you on what’s going on locally as well as any changes in the law.

If you are interested in attending an information session, please email quitreadyyp@leics.gov.uk.

Support for your young person

We can work with your young person to ensure that they have the help, support and advice they need to ensure they make the right choice for their future health and wellbeing.

To refer a young person, please download the word form and send it to us via email quitreadyyp@leics.gov.uk.
