Overview

In recent years, there has been an increase in drug, alcohol, and substance misuse in the United Kingdom. Drugs may destroy people's lives, and some of the most commonly used drugs, such as cocaine, cannabis, LSD, and heroin, lead to addiction that users cannot overcome. Managers in any workplace are uniquely placed to detect early signs of drug or alcohol abuse and put structures in place to minimise the damaging health, social, and economic effects of substance misuse in the UK.

Our Drug and Alcohol Awareness Training course teaches learners how to support employees and service users struggling with substance abuse. It also raises awareness of the size and scale of substance misuse in the UK, the most commonly abused drugs, and recognising warning signs of a problem. The Drug and Alcohol Awareness Training course also focuses on how managers and organisations can protect the interests of the business and the people for whom they have a duty of care.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
