‘Who’s in Charge?’ campaign The ‘‘Who’s in Charge?’ campaign has received national recognition, winning the NHS Safeguarding Award 2021 at the NHS Patient Safety awards ceremony in Manchester on Monday 20th September 2021. The social media campaign uses a series of short hard-hitting films, urging parents, and those with responsibility for children, to be aware of the risks and potentially dangerous consequences of drinking alcohol while caring for children and to always know ‘’Who’s in Charge?’
The Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Trust and Birmingham Safeguarding Children Partnership launched the campaign in response to increasing concerns that growing numbers of babies and children are at risk of serious harm because of the way some parents and carers consume alcohol, both at home and at outdoor gatherings.
