The campaign which was launched in Alcohol Awareness Week – asks adults consuming alcohol at home while responsible for children a simple, but potentially life-saving, question – ‘when you drink, who’s in charge?’. To support the campaign short films have been produced to raise awareness of the issue and reduce the number of children suffering harm. For further information on the campaign click here.
