SPIKING IS NOT ALWAYS JUST ABOUT DRINKS – AND WE ALL NEED TO BE AWARE!
We believe awareness is one of the most important tools we have in keeping people safe. When people hear the word spiking, they automatically think about someone putting something in another person's drink. But did you know spiking can take many forms?
🍹 Drinks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic.
💉 Needle spiking.
🍔 Food spiking.
🥃 Adding alcohol without someone's knowledge.
🚬 Vapes and ci******es.
It can happen to ANYONE. Men or women. Young or old. It can be carried out by strangers, acquaintances or even people someone knows and trusts.
But awareness shouldn't stop with the people enjoying a night out.
🍺 BAR STAFF: Stay alert. Watch for suspicious behaviour, unattended drinks and customers who suddenly appear unwell.
🛡️ SECURITY TEAMS: Know the warning signs. Take concerns seriously. Never automatically assume someone is simply drunk. Your response could make a huge difference.
👥 CUSTOMERS: Look out for your friends, trust your instincts and never be afraid to speak up if something doesn't feel right.
If you suspect someone has been spiked, get help immediately. Keep them safe, don't leave them alone and call 999 if they are seriously unwell or unconscious.
We all have a responsibility to look after one another. A night out should be about making memories, not becoming a victim.
DON'T IGNORE IT. DON'T DISMISS IT. DON'T ASSUME.
🟠 SEE IT. SAY IT. STOP IT.
Let's work together to make our pubs, clubs, workplaces and communities safer.
