The report, due to be published on 23 October and seen first by CYP Now, includes the findings of six consultation seminars with children's professionals, in which they were asked about a number of alcohol-related issues that could cause harm to young people.

The call is in line with guidance from the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, which has sought to place greater emphasis on prevention by expanding responsibility for alcohol reduction.
