A third of 11-year-olds and more than half of 13-year-olds in England have drunk alcohol - putting it top out of 44 countries examined in a report by global health experts.
Girls were found to be more likely than boys to be drinking and getting drunk aged 15 in England, Wales and Scotland.

The World Health Organization (WHO) report said alcohol, which can damage children's brains, has been normalised.

It called on countries to introduce more measures to protect children.

The report looked at data from about 4,500 school-age children from each country in Europe, central Asia and Canada in 2021-22 on cigarette smoking, vaping, alcohol and cannabis habits among adolescents.

The UK has always had relatively high alcohol use among young people but it has been declining for some time.

Study coordinator Dr Jo Inchley, from Glasgow University, said signs that more children were starting to drink at a young age was "concerning".

"Trying substances is part of growing up and experimenting but alcohol has long-term effects on health," she said.

Dr Inchley said being exposed to more alcohol at home, changing attitudes of parents and the rebound effects after Covid lockdown could all be factors in the trend.

Research shows the earlier children start drinking, the more serious a problem it can become when they are older.

At age 13, the report found 12% of girls and 9% of boys in England had been drunk at least twice in their lives.

At 15, that had risen to a third of girls and a quarter of boys. More than a half of girls said they had drunk alcohol in the past 30 days.

CHAMPIONS is an innovative personal development programme helping young people aged 10-25 with experience of or at risk of offending and antisocial behaviours as suspects.

The programme is a workstream of the Lancashire Violence Reduction Network (LVRN), covering Lancashire including Blackpool and Blackburn with Darwen. It's delivered in collaboration with nine football community club organisations across the region.

We offer mentoring support, signposting, activities in the community via the local football community trusts and support into activities provided by local organisations.

We focus on understanding the young person, discovering what their aspirations are and helping them achieve them underpinned by a therapeutic behaviour change programme.

CHAMPIONS is voluntary and challenging, requiring positive commitment on the part of the client, their mentor and others involved in their support network. Please complete the form as fully as possible to enable a full assessment of the programme's suitability for the young person.

Unfortunately we're unable to support individuals with a history involving harmful sexual behaviours as a suspect.

The Children and Family Wellbeing Service (CFW) offers a wide range of support across the 0-19yrs+ age range (25 years for SEND) with a 'whole family' approach.

The service identifies as early as possible when a child, young person or family needs support, helping them to access services to meet their needs, working with them to ensure the support offered is right for them, is offered in the right place, and at the right time.

The main focus of the service is to provide an enhanced level of support to individual children, young people or families with higher levels of need. Service resources are prioritised towards identified priority target groups or individuals at risk who are assessed using Lancashire's Early Help Assessment and Plan (EHA/EHP) as having more complex or intensive needs.

A Family Hub is a place where children, young people and their families can access support. We work with partner organisations like the NHS or schools to provide you with the help you need, without having to repeat yourself to lots of different people.

The network will be made up of Family Hubs and Family Centres. Family Hubs will offer the same services in every district, while Family Centres will offer some more specialist services.

You may recognise some of our Family Hub locations or have visited them before. That's because Family Hubs are taking the place of our children and family wellbeing and neighbourhood centres, so that we can expand what we offer. So don't worry – you won't have to travel anywhere new, and support is still local to you.

11 - 13 year-olds

The average age of a first whole drink in the UK is between the ages of 13 and 14, so it's important to talk at an early age and for your child to have an understanding of units, how alcohol affects the body and liver, why young bodies can't cope with alcohol and the risks they run by experimenting. This is why the UK Chief Medical Officers recommend that children under 15 should not drink alcohol, as their brains and livers are not fully developed and are more liable to damage than adults.

At age 11, children see it as unacceptable to get drunk and more than 99% don't drink regularly, but age 13 is what we call 'the tipping point'. Growing up is an awkward time, reaching puberty, their social lives changing, relationships and peer pressure growing - and probably being less open with you. Try not to force the subject, wait until the subject comes up via the TV, the media or similar. Put a conversation about drinking in context with other 'life skills', such as staying safe, talking about drugs and what sex is all about.

You might think your 'baby' is too young for all this, but unfortunately in this savvy world they'll be more informed than you think! Often, a good approach is to talk about a risky situation involving alcohol featured in a soap, movie or in the news. Car journeys work well as your kids can't walk off, they don't have to make eye contact and it is a neutral zone. Try to use open ended questions such as 'Tell me about' or 'What did you think about..?'

Correction to sources of information on drug use data (part 10)

Following the initial publication it was discovered that around half of pupil responses to the question on 'Sources of helpful information about drug use' had been excluded from the results. This was corrected and the affected tables and commentary have been re-issued.

In Part 10: Young people and drugs: the context, the affected outputs were tables 10.19, 10.20 and 10.21, and the associated chart and commentary in the section on 'Sources of helpful information about drug use'. Though some of the quoted figures changed by 0-3 percentage points, there was no effect to the order of contribution of the most common sources.

Our new report: An alcohol-free childhood - Action to ensure parents keep their children free from alcohol harm draws on extensive research that shows parents are largely unaware of guidance from the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) that the healthiest and safest option is for children to remain alcohol free up to the age of 18.
We believe the Government and others should actively promote the CMO guidance and do more to ensure that parents are made aware of this advice and actively involved in alcohol education for children and young people.

Symptoms of drink spiking

It may not be possible to tell if a drink has been spiked by smelling it or tasting it. The substances used to spike drinks are often colourless and odourless. The symptoms of drink spiking can depend on many factors such as the substance or mix of substances used, the dose, their size and weight, and how much alcohol they have already consumed. Symptoms may include feeling drunk, woozy or drowsy; feeling drunker than expected; mental confusion; hallucinations; speech difficulties such as slurring; memory loss; loss of inhibitions; nausea and vomiting; seizures; loss of consciousness; an unusually long hangover; or a severe hangover when they had little or no alcohol to drink.

If a person becomes unwell after drinking a trusted friend or adult should take them to a safe area and stay with them, keep a close eye on their condition and call an ambulance if their condition deteriorates in any way. Always report suspected drink spiking, both to the venue (who may have CCTV) and police, or we can't help stop the practice.

Groundwork is a delivery partner in theInvest in Youth project in Lancashire.

Invest in Youth is part of the nationwide Building Better Opportunities programme, funded by the European Social Fund (ESF) and The National Lottery Community Fund to help tackle the poverty and social exclusion faced by the most disadvantaged people in England.

The project aims to transform the futures of young people aged between 15 and 24 who would like to work but are unable to without additional skills or support. Through this project we work with young people who are not in employment, education or training (NEET), including young people at risk of becoming NEET.

You'll receive intensive support from a Key Worker who will help you to become 'work ready'. They will work with you to assess your current skills and interests. They will also look at the barriers that are preventling you from entering work or further learning. Together you will agree on a personal action plan, which will include short and long term goals you'd like to achieve.

Within 3 years, the Invest in Youth partnership aims to support 770 young people aged 15-24 to overcome their barriers and move closer to employment, education or training. We are proud to be part this specialist partnership of social enterprises and community organisations whose work is transforming lives across Lancashire.

Our partnership's most recent quarterly results show that Invest in Youth has already supported 582 people with multiple and complex barriers to work. As a direct result of the support received from this project, 106 people have overcome the challenges they were facing and are now employed, self-employed or in training.

Here are some recent examples of how the project is making a difference to peoples' lives:
