UK & International Alcohol Policy Data Services
Structured, source-referenced alcohol policy datasets, trackers and reporting for the UK and selected international markets.
The commission
What the work covers
Organise published, non-personal alcohol policy information into structured datasets, reporting tables and dashboards. Projects can cover legislation, published policy measures, consultation deadlines and implementation dates across the UK nations and selected international markets. Countries, states, provinces, regions and cities can be included where relevant published information is available.
Record source links, territorial coverage, publication dates, effective dates and whether a measure is proposed, adopted, in force, withdrawn or historical. Explain differences in definitions and reporting periods before comparing jurisdictions. Agree the fields, formats, quality checks and update schedule so that the outputs support clear policy research and business planning.
How we approach the work
- Agree the UK and international jurisdictions, alcohol policy topics, data fields, intended use and update frequency.
- Review permitted published sources, check definitions and dates, and document source rights, coverage and gaps.
- Deliver the dataset and agreed reporting view with source references, quality checks, limitations and a documented update schedule.
Scope and boundaries
This service uses published, non-personal information whose reuse is permitted for the project. Public availability alone does not establish permission to reproduce or redistribute a source. Outputs are dated research resources, not legal opinions, compliance certification or a guarantee of complete or continuous coverage; updates follow the agreed schedule. Medical and clinical evidence, personal profiling, contact lists and confidential material are outside scope. International work excludes approaches or representations to non-UK public authorities, preparing overseas advocacy or arranging others to provide it, whether remotely or in person. Any UK lobbying requires a separate agreed mandate, direct delivery by Alcohol Ltd within the UK and applicable registration and disclosure checks.

Scope and independence
Lobbying and representation before public authorities are delivered directly by Alcohol Ltd within the UK and only in relation to UK public bodies. We do not undertake or arrange lobbying of foreign governments, legislatures, regulators or international public bodies, directly, remotely or through intermediaries.
International work covers research, commercial analysis, media, publishing and private-sector trade event support. It excludes campaigns to influence non-UK public decisions, representation to non-UK public authorities and arranging others to provide those services.
Published research identifies sources, dates and uncertainties. Any UK client representations are separately agreed, with client identity, conflicts and applicable registration and disclosure requirements checked before contact. Commissioning research does not purchase a predetermined policy conclusion.
Client approval concerns commissioned deliverables and factual checks. Editors retain responsibility for independent publication, corrections and removal decisions. A commercial commission does not buy favourable independent coverage, the suppression of legitimate reporting, editorial endorsement or control over our policy positions. Confidential journalistic sources are not made available through commercial client approval.
Our regulated editorial material follows the Editors' Code of Practice, including accuracy, distinguishing fact from opinion and conjecture, privacy and timely corrections with due prominence. IPSO regulates editorial material within its remit; it does not approve our consultancy, research, PR or lobbying services. Advertising is clearly identified where applicable.
Appointments require an agreed written brief and checks on the client, conflicts, sanctions and any applicable registration, disclosure, data-use and permission requirements before work begins. Scope, fees and responsibilities are agreed separately, subject to our service and jurisdictional terms.
