Course introduction

There has been a significant increase in spiking incidents across the UK in recent years. According to a YouGov poll conducted in 2022, 10% of women and 5% of men reported having experienced spiking.  

This issue can occur through various methods, including drink spiking and the concerning rise of needle spiking, which introduces new complexities and risks, thereby emphasising the seriousness of this modern challenge. 

You will learn:

  • Section 1: Understand what ‘spiking’ is – The facts
  • Section 2: Awareness of spiking – The why
  • Section 3: Skillscast (video content only) Interview with the CEO of Stamp Out Spiking, a nurse and victim of spiking.
  • Section 4: Understand how to support businesses and people when spiking takes place – The how 

Upon completing this online course, you will acquire a comprehensive understanding of various aspects related to spiking and how to identify the signs and where to seek support.
