The Alcohol At Work Functions Policy is essential for organizations operating in England and Wales that host or participate in work-related events where alcohol may be present. This document has become increasingly important due to growing emphasis on workplace safety, duty of care obligations, and the need to balance social activities with professional responsibilities. The policy helps organizations comply with various legislative requirements while protecting both employer and employee interests. It typically addresses risk management, designated responsibilities, safety measures, and accommodation of diverse needs, providing a framework for safe and inclusive work-related social functions.
