National Spiking Intensification Week

National Spiking Intensification Week

🛑 National Spiking Intensification Week | 15–21 September 🛑

This week, we’re raising awareness around drink spiking to help keep our communities safe.

Spiking is a serious issue, and while it’s a shame that anyone feels the need to do this, it’s essential that we look out for one another to ensure everyone has a good night out.

✅ Here are some key safety tips to help protect yourself and others:

Never leave your drink unattended.

Don’t accept drinks from strangers.

Stick with trusted friends and look out for each other.

Use anti-spiking drink lids where available.

If something doesn’t feel right, speak up.

Know your venue’s safety protocols — including Ask for Angela.

🏠Making venues part of the solution
👮‍♀️Throughout the week, officers will be visiting licensed premises to ensure staff are:

Aware of the signs of spiking.

Trained to respond appropriately.

Displaying awareness posters and leaflets.

Ready to support anyone who feels unsafe.

Spiking can happen to anyone anywhere – no matter their age, gender, sexuality or ethnicity. It can be carried out by strangers or by people you know. If you think you, or someone you know, has been spiked, and it has just happened, please tell the bar staff or call the police or you can report it here https://www.leics.police.uk/ro/report/report-spiking/v2/report-spiking/

💙 Let’s work together to make nights out safer for everyone💙
