What is National Pubwatch?
National Pubwatch is an entirely voluntary organisation set up to support existing pubwatches and encourage the creation of new pubwatch schemes with the key aim of achieving a safe, secure and responsibly led social drinking environment in all licensed premises throughout the UK helping to reduce alcohol-related crime. Through a database of watches and people involved in Pubwatch it provides good practice and other related information, circulated by means of a newsletter and the good practice guide. Advice can be provided on problem issues and how to actually go about setting up a watch. In addition members of its Committee attend seminars and meetings to give presentations on Pubwatch and raise issues of concern found by pubwatch schemes at a national level with government and other agencies in an attempt to resolve them. They also, by request, attend local inaugural watch meetings and most are or have been involved in pubwatches.
