We want to see fewer people have their health damaged or lives cut short due to alcohol, fewer children and families suffering as a result of other people's drinking, and communities free from alcohol-related crime and violence. We have brought together organisations from across Scotland to form the Alcohol-free Childhood Action Network. ACAN will champion children's rights to be protected from dangerous drugs, violence abuse and neglect and to be listened to and taken seriously. A major focus in 2020 will be on reducing the alcohol industries ability to influence children and young people through marketing and helping to create child-friendly public spaces protected from alcohol sales and imagery.
