ACTIVITY
FRANK TALK

Why do it? To increase knowledge about the side effects

of substance use

Who is it for Line managers within a company

Group or individual activity Group

What you’ll need Flipchart, pens, paper

How long will it take? 30-45 minutes

The Brief:
How do the particular symptoms of drug and alcohol use affect your business? Lots of people
recreationally use alcohol and restricted substances every day. Some of the symptoms caused
by this behaviour may have serious effects on your business – other side effects may not be as
damaging. This exercise is designed to help a small to medium group identify the issues in order
of priority. You may wish to enlist the help and support of your local Drug (and Alcohol) Action
Team to help facilitate the discussion.
Working individually, rate the signs of alcohol or drug misuse (listed overleaf) in order of the
adverse affects they might have on your company/business. (‘Hand tremors’ may be hugely
problematic if you’re a heart surgeon but less so in a call centre).
Next, pair up and discuss your rationale with your neighbour. Return to the group to debate the
final order of priorities – recording the important points on a flip chart or sticky labels. Use this
information to examine ways to create a more ‘drug-aware’ environment.
It is important to emphasise that these side effects do NOT necessarily indicate drug or alcohol
misuse and can be attributed to other causes. Line managers should be encouraged not to
jump to conclusions.

Other Suggested Activities:

• Photocopy the cards overleaf and deal them out to the group. Each participant must
represent the importance of their symptom and argue for its highest possible position on
the priority list (note that this may require some facilitation).
• You could also run this exercise to rate particular substances. How does high levels of caffeine
affect your workforce, for example, compared with lunchtime drinking or weekend Class-A
drug use?

TIPS

TO TEST OR NOT TO TEST?

Workplace testing for drugs and alcohol is a complex and sensitive issue. There is currently
no legal requirement to carry out testing, and concerns about human rights infringements,
and the active prying into private behaviour that testing constitutes, have led many to
conclude that it has no place in the modern workplace. However, in some industries – safety-
critical industries in particular such as engineering, transport and construction - it is accepted
that drug screening can be an important function of Health and Safety.

The table below gives a summary of the main pros and cons of drug testing and can be used
to help you consider whether your business and staff would benefit from the introduction of
workplace testing.

PROS CONS
Workplace testing can: Workplace testing can:
• Help prevent absenteeism • Be a highly complex procedure
• Help prevent accidents, mistakes and • Be fraught with problems surrounding
injuries reliability and interpretation

behaviour and flouting of company rules terminology and instructions

The key to raising awareness about drugs and changing behaviour is what
happens locally. That’s why local activity is vital to FRANK. We’re keen to hear
how you are using FRANK, and what the campaign is contributing to local
profile and awareness on drugs.
We also want to gather information and help spread the word about exciting and innovative communications
practice. If you have a local success story about public awareness or media relations, we would love to hear
from you. Stories which tie in with forthcoming bulletin themes (diversity and communicating with vulnerable
young people) will be especially welcome – and with your permission may be featured in our Movers and
Shakers section, and in the success stories online at www.drugs.gov.uk. We look forward to hearing from you!

How are you using the FRANK materials?

Can you describe any practical or strategic contribution that the FRANK campaign is making to local
activity (e.g. by providing useful resources, profile, or impetus)?

Do you have any examples of innovation, good practice or success in terms of communications,
media relations or public awareness work that you would like to share?
