The poster depicts the use of alcoholic beverages by youth and the potential results of their actions. Poster designed by Martin Powell
The Essex Ambulance Service fully supports this campaign to reduce under age drinking. Time and time again we are called to young persons who are at risk due to this type of behaviour. We attend those that have been assaulted and people that are unconscious. They are at extreme risk when this occurs as airways become blocked and we have attended persons who have died as a direct result of over drinking. This is a tragic event for all those concerned, the family, friends and indeed is very distressing for those attending crews
‘Alcohol Abuse amongst the young increases the risk of arson, hoax calls and road traffic accidents. All of which will, at some point, involve the Fire Service and other emergency services.’
‘Essex Fire and Rescue Service are pleased to be part of a partnership aimed at raising awareness and providing help for young people in what may be a time of great conflict in their lives.’
‘It is only by working together that we can show what occurs as a ‘consequence of actions’, reduce the incidences, and achieve safer and stronger communities.’
