Safe. Sensible. Social. Selling alcohol responsibly: government response to the consultation on the code of practice for alcohol retailers

Between 13 May and 20 August 2009, we asked you what you thought about a new code of practice for those who sold or supplied alcohol. These proposals were designed to bring about real reductions in crime and disorder, making it safer for people to enjoy alcohol responsibly and to go out at night. We asked you to tell us your views on these proposals, and to provide further evidence wherever possible. 

We received more than 7,000 responses from a broad range of people, including members of the public, licensing authorities, police, the alcohol industry and health organisations.

This report sets out the key themes from analysis of the consultation findings and our response to them. It also sets out the next steps in the our work on the mandatory code for alcohol retailers.

We have also published the independent analysis of the consultation responses and the findings of the survey conducted with members of the general public, all of which are available below.

A impact assessment and equality impact assessment are also available.
