The Alcohol Learning Centre aims to share resources on local alcohol improvement interventions nationally. The appropriateness of initiatives will vary from one local area to another and inclusion of local initiatives, or actions, on this site does not represent endorsement by the Department of Health. Wherever possible we have described the evidence on which interventions are based. We work with and are funded by the Department of Health (opens a new window).
