DRINK SPIKING - MAKING FOR A SAFE EVENT |
   |
 |
Fresher's week, the Summer Ball, the Snow Ball, the Beach party - all are student events that generally go off without too many hitches in a "safe" environment. Student organisations are also aware, however, for the increase in drink spiking - whether the result is catastrophic or not - and the dangers involved. |  |
| Our team attend University events armed with drink testing kits that are made available to guests. Dressed identifiably, they will circulate and make it known that anyone concerned may have their drink tested at any time. The service is high profile, an influence that not only provides reassurance but more importantly dissuades perpetrators from attempting to interfere with drinks. At the same time they will provide advice on safeguards, prevention, and what to do if someone suspects their drink or cigarettes have been doctored |

One student relates: " I had several drinks but wasn't drunk; I was having fun until around 11pm; from then until the next morning I have no memory". She was found outside the venue at around midnight by her friends; she was cold, had lost her bag and mobile, disorientated, incoherent and unable to walk or talk. Fortunately she had come to no physical harm. An incident with similarities happened to another girl at the same venue on the same evening. Nearly all accept that, at present, the problem is not going to go away. Attendance at events by Answers staff therefore provides many benefits: |

"Last year I went out with three of my friends, to a students union do. Two of my friends got bored and ran out of money, so they decided to leave. I continued to dance and talk to people with my other friend who stayed. I remember a guy buying her and I a drink and then the next thing I knew I was in a room. I had no idea where I was, how on earth I had got there and most importantly, where my friends were. I don't know if I was assaulted and I was too embarrassed to tell police. I felt like it was my fault! I lost my mobile phone and my shoes. I had to go home on the train by myself, vomiting, with no shoes. People looked at me like I was a leper." |
