No smoking – not even in the staffroom.
Abstract
Reports on Birmingham′s successful introduction of a no‐smoking policy for its schools. Considers that health education messages will be more effective if staff are not seen to be undermining them and in view of evidence that shows smoking to be a real health hazard, discusses the responsibility of employers under health and safety legislation. Outlines the basis for the new policy, the powers of the LEA, and its implementation. Discusses the distinction between rights and choices and the problems of implementation. Concludes that without directed policies, change will be very slow and strong commitment is required by all interested bodies.
