Splinter drink responsibly

I noticed a news item this morning on the Beeb about the Association of Chief Police Officers in England and Wales launching a new campaign in time for the festive season. It’s a campaign targeted at women and men warning of dangers drinking and sexual attacks whilst under the influence, something that doubles during December and January according to many Police forces.

A scary fact I found out when we were coming up with ideas for Liverpool PCT’s current Psssst campaign (view all about the campaign) is that alcohol is the biggest date rape drug, something which shocked me, but makes a lot of sense if you think about it. The Pssst! campaign is running now until the festive period ends and includes posters, adverts and information on marshaled taxi ranks in the city centre. For more information visit www.pssst.org.uk
