"The aim of this Guidance is to outline the tools and powers available to practitioners and the key legislative provisions to tackle alcohol misuse strategically, signposting as necessary to more detailed guidance, which already exists. A list of these documents has been produced in the form of a table. This Guidance is intended to assist all of those tasked with addressing the issues and problems presented by the misuse of alcohol. It is specifically aimed at practitioners and provides information to help them tackle those ‘everyday’ matters by outlining the powers and tools available. It is stressed that this Guidance is precisely that – guidance – and it does not replace primary or secondary legislation.
The guidance is a ‘live’ document and will be updated as legislation is revised or updated."
