Drug and Alcohol Awareness Course Description
This Drug and Alcohol Awareness course is aimed at managers and staff in all industries who play a role in reducing drug, alcohol and substance misuse in the UK.

You’ll learn in detail about commonly used drugs, including cannabis, cocaine, heroin, LSD, ecstasy and some new designer drugs.
Turning to alcohol abuse, the course will show you how to introduce a 4-stage plan to deal with any problems – including how to write an effective Drug and Alcohol Policy. Beyond this the course will explore best business practice in terms of HR, legislation, spotting signs of drug misuse and the implementation of workplace solutions.
