Poster for spiking

Dear Licence Holder, Designated Premises Supervisor, Manager,

Please find a Spiking poster from the College of Policing, which is connected to drink spiking. This explains what spiking is, and what to do if you think a member of staff, customer or you have been spiked, and what happens when you’re tested.

Please speak to all your staff, including door staff, about the content of this poster, and display copies of it in appropriate areas inside your venue, for example the toilets and bar area.

Your support will assist with our ongoing work and investigations into spiking incidents.
