Course Content
Our Licensing and Social Responsibility training has been structured around six core modules;
Licensing Legislation – An overview of the licensing legislation, introducing you to the Licensing Act 2003 and guiding you through the four licensing objectives. You will also learn the function of licensing authorities and how licenses are administered including the different types of licence that you can obtain. Finally you will cover risk assessments and operating schedules so you finish the module with a good foundation on which to build your knowledge for the next sections of the course.
Alcohol and Age – The second module of this training will look at children, young people and licensing law, what constitutes an offence and how you can verify the identity of anyone you suspect may be underage.
Alcohol Awareness – Increasing alcohol awareness and the dangers of excessive drinking is the focus of this module and you will explore the correct techniques and quantities for dispensing alcohol along with recommended consumption levels and alcoholic content of various drinks. The module will then go a little deeper looking at the effects of alcohol and the impact it can have on drinkers.
Social Responsibility – As you continue to build your knowledge in this training, the social responsibility section will teach you best practice when it comes to promotions, outlining specifically what is and isn’t permitted, how to serve customers responsibly, discourage irresponsible drinking and the grounds upon which you can refuse to serve customers.
Drugs and Licensed Premises – Being drug aware is crucial so you can maintain a safe environment for all. As you study this module, you will learn how to recognise drug use and/or dealing, how to identify specific types of drug and how you as a responsible member of the team can prevent drug abuse through the implementation of zero tolerance policies.
Workplace Conflict – The final module of the course will cover dealing with situations which can result in conflict, how to deal with customers appropriately to reduce hostile situations and what to do if you find yourself in a precarious situation.
