What the petition asks
It’s time for the Government to take drink spiking seriously, starting with providing bars and clubs with free drink spiking test kits and drink covers.
This will allow people to cover drinks for peace of mind, and allow those who suspect their drink has been spiked to test their drink and take any necessary action.
There has been a substantial increase in reported cases of drink spiking in recent years, and many cases are not even reported to the police due embarrassment or memory loss.
Crimes are going unreported, and people feel unsafe. Introducing free drink testing kits to bars is an important step to tackling this.
