Drug and Alcohol Education services use of DANOS (Drug and Alcohol National Occupational Standards) is the basis of our Training and development Programmes. We provide our trainees with a wide variety courses based on best practice and standard guidance.

We use DANOS to provide guidance on teaching and learning outcomes on all our courses. This provides trainees with relevant knowledge, skills and ability as practitioners to work in an informed manner. Our training and development courses support roles such as:

• Drug and Alcohol Project Workers
• Key Workers
• Arrest Referral Workers
• Family Support Workers
• CARATS Workers
• Drug Counsellors
• Drug Education Officers
• Outreach Workers
• Residential Support Workers
• Senior Project workers
• Social Workers

We are currently developing an accredited DANOS standards course which will be available to gain a qualification. DAES is committed to providing individuals and organisations with an approach based on a through needs analysis.

Our consultations process is designed to cover the key service areas below

These standards are divided into three key areas:

• A. Service Delivery
• B. Management of Services
• C. Commissioning Services

We will provide our clients with the knowledge and skills to offer services users with the best possible interventions.
