Through Public Health Wales, we have provided guidance and evidence based information to schools on how they can respond to and help address vaping through policy, practices, and curriculum content. These resources are also supported by a guide for parents and carers which provides practical help when dealing with vape use. The use of vapes in schools will be considered as part of the ongoing work on behaviour in schools. We do not collect data on how many pupils are found in possession of vapes.
