Although our training is uniquely designed ~ some general Aims and Objectives of a typical training session are:
Aims of the course ~
- To raise participants' awareness of drug, alcohol and drug & alcohol related issues within the framework of your Company Substance Misuse Policy.
Objectives of the course ~
- To make participants aware of how their Policy impacts on the workplace
- To introduce your Company Substance Misuse Policy to directors, managers, supervisors and general staff
- To explore and challenge myths and attitudes that surround drug and alcohol use
- To increase knowledge, understanding and awareness of substances, their names, effects and dangers
- To enable participants to spot the signs and symptoms of drug use
- To make participants aware of their own responsibilities under the law: Misuse of Drugs Act, 1971 and a range of other relevant legislation in respect to drugs and alcohol within the workplace

We would suggest that training is always implemented to accompany the introduction of a policy within the workplace but we are also delighted to arrange stand alone training which is bespoke to your needs.
