‘It’s Never OK’ was originally launched in 2011 and was a huge success, reducing alcohol related violence by 23% with domestic violence incidents reduced by 30%. Since then, it has been delivered over the last 4 years. The campaign shows the significant effects alcohol can have on you and raises awareness of domestic and sexual violence. The campaign has two elements:

VIOLENT NIGHT

Encourages night-time revellers not to become involved in violence whilst under the influence of alcohol.
