Providing more flexibility can only be a good thing, but with flexibility comes the need for further education.
The high profile ‘Units’ marketing campaign has started the process of warning people not to trust the old method of calculating a single unit as a glass of wine, a half pint of beer or a shot of whiskey. It has made them aware, that with so many different measures now available and the wide variety of different strengths of products, it is now a little more complicated.
So introducing another measure means that staff selling or supplying alcohol need training more than ever and consumers need to be educated as to how this may affect their safe consumption of alcohol.
At Beyond the Blue we run a number of courses that highlight the method of calculating the number of units in any particular alcoholic drink. These courses include the National Certificate for Personal Licence Holders (NCPLH) required by anyone wishing to apply for a personal licence; the Award in Responsible Alcohol Retailing (ARAR) designed for front line staff and proactive employers who want to put their staff through a recognised half day qualification that gives them an additional due diligence defence in the case of prosecution relating to the Licensing Act 2003; and the Certificate in Alcohol Awareness (CAA) designed for young people to educate them in the short and long term effects of alcohol and the importance of responsible alcohol consumption. The CAA is a course that can be delivered in schools and colleges.
