Substance Misuse

The GSCE Substance Misuse Screening Tool and Referral Form

Young People's Substance Misuse Referral Form

The screening tool can be used to help professionals review, with their young person, how substances may be impacting on their life, relationships and health. It will guide you to score three areas, substance use, social situation/behaviour and health and wellbeing. These scores will show if the young persons current needs meet the criteria for a tier 1, tier 2 or a specialist tier 3 treatment service. Please send this form on to the GSCE using the email [email protected]. They will forward it on to the appropriate service on your behalf.
