Purpose

The purpose of
this report is to seek approval from the Director of Health and
Wellbeing for one year of funding for the pilot school-based vaping
cessation intervention. The report outlines the evidence for the
need for vaping cessation intervention targeting secondary school
aged young people and highlights the gap in services suitable to
address this issue.
 
Following
consultation with other Local Authorities, it was determined that
piloting a school based vaping intervention is a suitable method to
develop an appropriate service, and test if this pilot service
meets the needs of young people in Camden.
