There are fresh concerns of drugs in schools after reports of a child in Sydney’s inner west being offered the drug ice disguised as a lolly.
A note has been sent home to parents of students at Rozelle public school that their children are at risk of being given the drugs in chocolate or lolly form.
The note warns the crystal meth can be found in the form of a crunchy chocolate, strawberry or peanut flavoured lolly.
Education Department child welfare officer David Mackay says it's an appropriate response to highlight the dangers of accepting goods from strangers.
"Our schools are being proactive in terms of issues to do with child protection including stranger danger and also issues to do with drugs in schools.
"So (at) any concern that may be raised, the school would be considering whether or not further information may need to be provided.
"There are those very strong policies already in place which are making sure children learn about how to keep themselves safe, say no to situations that are unsafe and then who to go to."
