Lauren I have a copy of the drug/alcohol policy from my previous employer a NHS mental health trust it is 15 pages long any use? This is an extract it may help. The Trust will assist any employee suffering from alcohol, other drug or other substances misuse or abuse in the same way as any employee suffering from any other serious health condition would be assisted. It will provide support and assistance and, where appropriate, access to treatment with the aim that the employee's health and well-being is improved. The goal would be to support the individual's return to an acceptable level of performance and attendance.

Does anyone have a short one relating to drugs abuse and its affect on work. Also, can we no longer immediately dismiss someone who is taking illegal substances or abusing legal ones under gross misconduct or as employers are we obliged to offer counselling first? Thanks.
