Life Skills - TACADE
Lions Clubs in the British Isles and Ireland wish to see that our young people receive the best possible education in the development of the skills which enable them to avoid the social problems that they may encounter during their school life. Consequently we have formed a partnership with ‘The Advisory Council for Alcohol and Drug Education’-TACADE - which provide high quality education programmes. Lions Clubs promote and facilitate the use of these programmes in their local schools.
Smoking, excessive drinking and recreational drug taking are examples of the problems that TACADE educational programmes teach to avoid. More recently problem–gambling and handling bereavement are being addressed.
The programmes help teachers meet the Government Standards for Personal, Social and Health Education - PHSE.
Lions Clubs make teachers aware of the existence of these programmes and how they may be used to make teaching this subject easier and more fun.
As well as promoting the programmes many Lions Clubs pay the cost of installing them in their local schools.
