Title – UK top of European cocaine leagueSource – www.bbc.co.uk
Date – 7th November 2008
Where we sit in the European ‘league table’ in regard to drug use is less important to us then the figures for the UK itself and they do make quite disturbing reading, especially when you consider the negative effects drugs have on health and society in general.
These figures are important for people working in all sorts of sectors and anyone working with the general public. It is important that they are realistic about the level of the drug problems in the UK, so they can account for it within their workplace and businesses.
With close to 1 in 10 people in the UK having taken cocaine and some 800,000 having taken it in the last year, few workplaces will be free of cocaine users; certainly anyone dealing with the public will come across a cocaine user on a regular basis.
Illegal drugs cause all sorts of problems in our society, apart from public health issues, it adds to crimes levels and exasperates the problems associated with Workplace Violence.
Beyond The Blue run a number of courses where we examine illegal drugs, drug use and the enforcement of zero tolerance policies. For the Licensed Retail Sector we run the National Certificate for Licensees – Drug Awareness (NCLDA), for those people facing workplace violence we run Conflict Management and Resolution courses (CMR) and Physical Intervention (PI) courses and those people working in the Security Industry we run the National Certificate for Door Supervisors (NCDS) and In-House Security Induction (IHSI) courses. We also run bespoke Drugs Awareness courses (DA) which are suitable for both employees dealing with the effects of drug user or for groups (such as youth groups, schools etc.) looking for a course to make people aware of the effects of drug use; please Contact Us for more details of these Drug Awareness courses.
