Today is International Stamp Out Spiking Day. With tonight's World Cup semi-final bringing England fans together in pubs, bars and fan zones across the country, now is a good time to be mindful of those around you and stay aware of your surroundings. Often, the effects of spiking can mean that the affected individual may be unable to contact the police themselves. So, it's important that security operatives and venue staff stay alert to the signs of spiking. Common signs of someone who has been spiked are: ◽ nausea ◽dizziness ◽unsteadiness ◽blurred vision ◽paranoia ◽hallucinations ◽suddenly becoming very tired ◽becoming unresponsive ◽behaving out of character Drugs pass through the system quickly and there is often limited evidence to identify offenders, which is why early reporting and testing is important. If you come across spiking at your venue, please report it to the police immediately. ➡️ You can report spiking via a dedicated reporting page. Reports via this route will be sent straight to the relevant police force. https://orlo.uk/hM0Pn Stamp Out Spiking #InternationalStampOutSpikingDay #SpikingAwareness
