What to do if you suspect Drink Spiking

Spiking is where someone adds alcohol or another substance to a drink without consent.  This is a crime.   Spiking with the intention of making someone more vulnerable to assault, rape or robbery is an even more serious criminal offence. 

If you think someone you're with has been spiked:

  • Don’t let them drink any more.  If you can, preserve the drink
  • Tell a member of staff at the venue
  • If the perpetrator is still present, you may wish to call police
  • Stay with your friend, keep talking to them
  • Don’t let them go home with someone they don’t know
  • If possible, accompany them home
  • Encourage them to drink water and not to drink any more alcohol 
  • Call 111 for advice if they feel unwell
  • If you are in College, you can contact the Lodge for assistance
  • Urine testing kits for personal use are available at the Lodge
  • Following the incident, seek support from the welfare team

Police Emergency
