Safeguarding Alert - Illegal Vapes

The availability of illegal vapes containing spice has come to our attention because there have been a few recorded incidents ​of children in Bristol using them. The children affected believe they are vaping CBD or cannabis but the impact of vaping spice ​instead has lead to hospitalisations in some cases. Here is some information produced by Lewisham providing more ​information: Information-on-Adulterated-Vapes-in-Schools_Lewisham.pdf (foresthill.lewisham.sch.uk)

Vapes sold in reputable shops (disposable or reusable) are made to stringent safety standards and are difficult to tamper with. ​We are aware of a market in illegal vapes which are not made to any safety standards and therefore carry a greater risk to ​health, as well as illegal sales of both legal and illegal/counterfeit vapes to children.

Bristol Public Health colleagues have provided the following to support you to take action.

How to Report a Concern

If you are aware of illegal cigarettes or vapes, or illegal sales to children, this can be reported anonymously here: Report IT - ​Trading Standards South West (tssw.org.uk). Children and young people can also be encouraged to use this link. Trading ​Standards work with local authorities, police, education, and wider partners to gather intelligence and take action against the ​illegal cigarette and vape trade.

If you have any concerns or questions, please contact your child's Head of Year.
