===United Kingdom=== The UK prisons [[ombudsman]] recommended to prison governors that Narconon rehabilitation programs not be used in prisons although some schools in the UK are using these programs; ''[[The Sunday Times (UK)|The Sunday Times]]'' said this was because schools are less aware of Narconon's links to Scientology.<ref>{{cite news | title = Revealed: how Scientologists infiltrated Britain's schools | newspaper = [[The Sunday Times (UK)]] | date = 7 January 2007 | url = http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2087-2535187.html | archive-url = https://archive.today/20090511233906/http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2087-2535187.html | url-status = dead | archive-date = May 11, 2009 | access-date =7 January 2007 | location=London | first=Leo | last=Lewis}}</ref> In September 2012, the 149 [[Church of England]] schools in the Diocese of London were warned not to accept offers from Narconon to give lectures to their pupils, following complaints from parents.<ref>{{cite web | title = Schools alert on drugs group | work = [[Church Times]] | date = 10 August 2012 | url = http://www.churchtimes.co.uk/articles/2012/10-august/news/uk/schools-alert-on-drugs-group | access-date =17 August 2012}}</ref> In November 2016, Narconon was reported to have given talks on the dangers of drug addiction in two schools in [[Camden, London]]. Elizabeth Kitcatt, Camden School for Girls headteacher, said in a statement that the students found the talk "very useful", while Harry Shapiro, Director of DrugWise, called out the schools for being unaware to the group's ties to Scientology. A Brecknock Primary spokeswoman said: "The school's deputy head was in the room for the whole drug awareness talk and at no point was there any mention of Scientology or any religious connotations. It was marketed as an anti-drug talk and that's exactly what it was". President of Narconon UK Noel Nile claimed that the group was "in the business of saving lives".<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.camdennewjournal.com/camden-schools-drug-talks |title=Charity with Scientology links gives anti-drugs talk in Camden schools | Camden New Journal |access-date=3 May 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161114222533/http://www.camdennewjournal.com/camden-schools-drug-talks |archive-date=14 November 2016 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
