Where is the evidence?
Lion Alan Chapman, together with Tacade,
distributed 40 questionnaires to primary and
secondary schools in West Wiltshire, asking
Which resources are you using and how are you as
teachers and your students benefiting?
5

• 32 out of 40 questionnaires returned
• All positive results
• All teachers were using the Lions-Tacade
  resources
• All found them to save time, with less
  preparation.
• Its a refreshing change to find such valuable
  material in an easy to use format!
• I used the material with a difficult and
  underachieving Year 11 group and it was among the
  most successful lessons this year

A further comment from York

• The teachers present on the evening, and
  others that I have subsequently seen, have all
  been very appreciative to Lions for the
  sponsorship of the resources. We hope that young
  people can make healthy informed choices when it
  comes to drinking alcohol in their formative
  years, and feel sure that the resources will be
  very beneficial, ensuring they receive
  appropriate accurate information

• York LEA)

  considered responseand provide ongoing support.
