Drugs and alcohol awareness training

Do you need drugs and alcohol awareness training?

Drug and alcohol misuse is a huge problem in the UK, and across the world, and it can have a very negative effect on businesses as a result.

It’s important that business owners can recognise the signs that their employees may have a significant problem with drugs or alcohol and know how to handle the situation effectively.

Is this course for you?

This drugs 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.

It’s just one of a range of health and social care courses that we provide here at UK Online Training.

Drugs and alcohol awareness training: what is covered?

The course starts with official statistics to illustrate the scale of drug and alcohol abuse 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.

The course also explains how the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (ACAS) can help with effective alcohol and drugs policies and the development of related management skills.

Finally, it looks at current drug treatments and the options for outside support available to individuals and organisations.

Hannah Smith
Basic Fire Safety Awareness

Wonderful course, very easy to follow. Got me up to speed in no time at all on the basics of fire safety. Would recommend to others wishing to learn more about the basic principles of fire safety in the workplace.

Anne Davies
Asbestos Awareness

I enjoyed this course and found the interactive videos easy to follow.  The course content is well thought out and provided lots of useful information.  I passed each module with flying colours and feel I now understand the basics when it comes to asbestos awareness.  Would highly recommend this online course.

James Appleton
Level 1 Food Safety - catering

The level 1 food safety for catering course was easy to follow and I learned a lot.  I enjoyed the way the course was delivered and how it was broken down into small modules, which made it easier to learn.  I have since completed level 2 food safety too.
