Closed petition Review drink spiking and bring in provisions to protect people from spiking

Closed on 13 September 2020

The Government should look into drink spiking, the facts and figures behind it, and review the way we deal with victims who believe they have been spiked.

The Government should require bars, clubs and pubs to take greater precautions in order to prevent it, and put in place arrangements to provide after care for those who have been spiked.

I was spiked last month and I was shocked at how little is in place to: one protect victims, but also to deal with the crime itself.

Figures show that last year reports of drink spiking hit a 5 year high, and the issue continues to grow.

There is not enough advice online on what to do if you find yourself in this situation. Crimes are going unreported, and people feel unsafe.

Testing is difficult to access, and the police may not investigate without it. It's time for change.
