Welcome

"Alcohol policy work requires an appropriately trained workforce with a wide variety of knowledge and skills" World Health Organization 2009

The AERC Alcohol Academy promotes excellence in local alcohol harm reduction by training and supporting local alcohol coordinators and strategic leads for alcohol. It provides seminars, networking, briefings and support for alcohol coordinators, as well as training and awareness-raising for frontline staff and non-alcohol specialists. As a social enterprise we re-invest any profits back into achieving these aims.

If you are an alcohol coordinator or strategic lead you can:

• Join the Academy's email forum for Q&As, networking and discussion with other alcohol leads - send your details to forum-subscribe@alcoholacademy.net
• Become a member of Academy and partake in consultation and submissions to influence alcohol policy (watch this space)
  
• Get in touch to discuss our free seminars and other opportunities in your region such as training for frontline staff or other support
  

For further details see the 'What we do' page.

The Academy also provides regular news and analysis through Alcohol Policy UK.
