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.

I'm just updating some corporate policies. 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. Lauren
