The training materials were created by Re-solv : a national charity solely dedicated to the prevention of solvent and volatile substance abuse. IRISS worked with Re-Solv to create a web-based version of the pack which includes information sheets, training exercises, audio recordings of young people and three digital video resources. Although created for the Scottish social services workforce the materials are adaptable for use in other contexts.
