Launch of ‘Online High’ Film and Educational Toolkit
Created: 07/10/2024
News/Events Category: Children and Families
Dunfermline Police Scotland Youth Volunteers (PSYV) have unveiled a new campaign that highlights the growing issue of drug dealing through mobile devices amongst young people.
This initiative is part of an 18-month screen education programme titled ‘On Trend,’ where youth volunteers created the ‘Online High’ film in collaboration with YouthLink Scotland (No Knives, Better Lives – NKBL) and Barnardo’s Fife Substance Use Education Team.
The 'Online High' film sheds light on the troubling trend of mobile-based drug distribution amongst young people, reflecting recent patterns in social media use and drug-related harm. Through this campaign, the aim is to raise awareness of the consequences of both consuming and supplying harmful substances online.
This initiative was made possible through the support of Screen Scotland, Fife Council, Carnegie Dunfermline Trust, and Cashback for Communities. The ‘Online High’ film and accompanying educational toolkit will be delivered across schools, youth groups, and community settings throughout Fife, with hopes of expanding the campaign nationally.
The educational toolkit, co-developed by YouthLink Scotland and Barnardo’s Fife Substance Use Education Team, is designed for practitioners working with young people. It contains activities to help address online drug use and the associated risks of online harm.
The film and toolkit are part of the broader Safer Dunfermline approach, which brings together volunteers, community groups, and partner organisations to address local safety concerns collaboratively.
