Core concepts
Concept 1
Consistent service, suitable staffing, clean and safe surroundings, water and lower-strength choices can reduce risk and support the licensing objectives.
Exam cue: Move from prevention to observation, intervention, escalation and record.
Concept 2
Premises layout, noise, queues, promotions, crowding, service pace and staff behaviour can influence drinking patterns, vulnerability and conflict.
Exam cue: Connect each operational measure to a licensing objective and a realistic premises risk.
Concept 3
Conflict controls start with early recognition, calm communication, clear limits, team support, safe withdrawal and proportionate escalation.
Concept 4
Security procedures should address theft, CCTV, unattended items, evacuation, suspicious activity, evidence preservation and emergency contacts.
Concept 5
Staff must follow current premises and emergency plans, call the appropriate service and avoid actions beyond their training or authority.
