Alcohol Awareness Week - 6 July 2026 - 12 July 2026
Problems associated with alcohol misuse can affect not only an employee's ability to work effectively, efficiently and safely, but can also create difficulties and distress in domestic and social life. As an employer, the council is concerned with the health, safety and welfare of its employees and others who may be affected by the actions of employees in the course of employment.
Alcohol Awareness Week is an initiative aimed at raising awareness about the health risks associated with alcohol consumption and promoting healthier drinking habits. It serves as a platform for communities to engage in discussions about alcohol related issues and to provide resources for those seeking help with alcohol dependence.
The theme for 2026 will focus on "alcohol and work", highlighting the impact of consumption in workplace settings and promoting healthier choices among employees.
