About us and Our history
Drug and Alcohol Training Services (DATS) was established in 1999 and has been relaunched in 2008. We are the leading provider, nationally, of drug and alcohol policies for the workplace and have developed a range of benefits and professional services to address the needs of all businesses, regardless of size and industry sector. Current clients include organisations ranging from 6 employees to over 100,000, all of whom have gained significant benefits from the range of services available.
"The need for companies to address drugs and alcohol in the workplace is an issue, not merely for employers, but also for employees as it is their well-being and safety that is at stake.
Lloyds TSB along with Rolls-Royce, fully supports the scheme, as indeed do many other high profile businesses, who recognise the value of the expert advice and professional training provided by the scheme.
Please give the 'Employer's Assistance Scheme' careful consideration, as the problem of drugs and alcohol directly and indirectly affects us all".
