Thematic Resources

We develop resources in partnership with Charter supporters to highlight key issues for the communities they work with. We'll be adding to these resources throughout the year, please let us know if there's a specific resource you'd find useful.

Play Smoke-free: resources specifically designed with early years services & primary schools in mind, to encourage smoke-free places for children to play, learn & socialise.

Colleges & Universities: range of posters designed for colleges and university campuses to encourage staff, students and visitors to enjoy campus grounds free from tobacco smoke.

Tobacco-free Schools: a range of practical, user-friendly tools and support materials for schools developing tobacco policies, lessons and resources.

Changing Tobacco Supply Culture: resources to reduce the availability, supply and attraction of tobacco to under 18s. New resources are being added every month and include posters, videos and case studies.

Employability & Training: information flyer setting out how addressing smoking promotes a healthier workforce and can help increase the proportion of young people in learning, training or work.

Children's Rights: an information poster linking the Charter to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.

E-cigarettes: simple, practical guidance on how organisations engaging with young people should respond to the growing interest in, and presence of, e-cigarette devices.

Smoke-free outdoor events: Make your outdoor sport and leisure events smoke-free. This guide will help your organisation develop a policy for smoke-free outdoor sport and leisure events involving children, young people or families.
