Do the teachers or the school have any special powers to search for drugs?This is a featured page

No, the only people who have any special powers to search for weapons or drugs are the Police, Customs and others who have been given such powers by law. This means that if a teacher wants to search you for drugs you have the right to refuse and they can?t force you to submit to a search.

Many schools have a policy which means that if you refuse to hand over drugs that the school reasonably suspects you have on you they call the police. The police can search you if they have reasonable grounds to think you have them
