The trainees can contact any time the IMY Tutor if they need suggestions, answers or if they have doubts about their work placement. On the first day of the work placement, the IMY staff accompanies the trainee to the workplace and introduces the learner to the company’s tutor. Remember that, in any case, it is the trainee’s responsibility to manage the relationship with the company and to respect the agreed working hours. If, for example, the trainees are sick or, for any other reason, are not able to go to work, they have to alert the company’s tutor promptly. The trainee and the company’s tutor will register the trainee’s hours of work in a sheet of attendance provided by IMY at the beginning of the work placement. There is no distinction between less dangerous drugs and more dangerous drugs. Administrative sanctions for personal possession offences may be one to three months’ imprisonment for the former and 2-12 months imprisonment for the latter. If a person is found in possession of illicit drugs for the first time, administrative sanctions are not usually applied, but, instead, the offender receives a warning from the Prefect and a formal request to refrain from use. The difference between personal possession and trafficking is determined by the circumstances of the specific case (the act, possession of tools for packaging, different types of drug possessed, number of doses in excess of an average daily use, means of organisation, etc.). Trafficking is punishable by 2-20 years’ imprisonment.
