Safer Cornwall & DAAT Training: Alcohol IBA

Alcohol Intervention and Brief advice training. To enable staff across all organisations to identify alcohol-related problems using validated screening tool.

Alcohol IBA training has been designed to provide staff across Cornwall with the skills and understanding to deliver Alcohol IBA in line with the National Occupational Standard AH10 – ’employ techniques to help individuals adopt sensible drinking behaviour’.

The training will teach you how to use World Health Organisation validated tools (AUDIT) to identify alcohol risk levels, and how to intervene appropriately with those who would benefit from reducing their alcohol intake.

There is a strong evidence-base which shows that structured, motivational advice is effective in reducing health risks from alcohol.

This training aims to give staff the confidence to raise the issue, knowledge of how to help people check their alcohol intake level, the tools to assess the risk level of someone’s drinking, and then how to help.

Suitable for staff in any services where alcohol is a common issue or a background factor for clients/customers, or families, and where someone may need help developing the motivation to change.
