What people are saying...
“The Alcohol Awareness training delivered by Lauren from Alcohol Concern was exactly what our managers needed. Although we have an Alcohol policy many of our managers had said that they would not know how to approach an employee who had an alcohol related issue.
The training provided has given our managers the tools and the confidence they need to deal with any alcohol issues and the knowledge of how best to provide help and support. The training is an important element of the Corporate Health Standard which we are aiming to achieve at Gold standard.”
