As a licensee you must ensure your staff are suitably trained and are aware of their responsibilities associated with the sale of alcohol.
The Level 1 Award in Responsible Alcohol Retailing (ARAR) meets an industry-wide need to demonstrate commitment to responsible alcohol retailing by covering topics that include:
- The nature of alcohol and the effect it has on the human body
- The main points of the Licensing Act 2003 as they relate to alcohol retailers and servers
- Licensing law and the protection of children from harm
- The social responsibilities associated with the retail sale of alcohol
- How to recognise drunkenness, and an individual’s duty not to serve drunk customers
- How licensed premises can help to prevent or eliminate alcohol-related crime and conflict
- The importance of personal safety
This course is aimed at front-of-house staff who are involved in the sale of alcohol on a day-to-day basis. Individuals wishing to gain a deeper understanding of licensing law and the application process should consider the BIIAB Level 2 Award for Personal Licence Holders that we also offer.
