Host responsibility
A host is anyone that receives or entertains other people as guests. When alcohol is served or if guests bring it with them, hosts have a role to play in ensuring that alcohol is consumed safely on their premises. Host responsibility is all about creating responsible drinking environments. Licensed premises should have a Host Responsibility Policy.
