Fund increased after-care for spiking victims, and test kits for bars/clubs

Closed 57 signatures

What the petition asks

Spiking is a criminal offence. Such casualties should be offered immediate help, such as mental health support and further medical check ups. All bars and clubs should be provided with testing kits.
In Britain, 1/10 women and 1/20 men had reported having their drink spiked, and around 40% of those people do not think the police would take them seriously if they reported drink spiking. These statistics should not be unnoticed. Anyone who experiences spiking should receive tailored followed up support for both mental and physical health.
