This comprehensive guide is designed to support frontline workers in managing risks associated with high alcohol consumption among vulnerable individuals. It covers practical strategies for addressing medical emergencies, improving communication, and creating safety plans to minimise harm​.  There is also an alcohol safety plan included as an appendix, which staff can use to plan for alcohol withdrawals (within the protocol of your organisation). For instance this plans who will buy the alcohol, what alcohol needs to be bought, how often the alcohol should be bought and how much alcohol to be given to the client and when.
