Edge Hill University students and staff given lessons in detecting spiking
In the run up to Christmas, local authorities have teamed up with Edge Hill University, West Lancashire Borough Council and licensed premises in Ormskirk to deliver support and education to students and pub and club goers.
“Fortunately, spiking allegations aren’t too common across South Division but we would like to provide reassurance that any reports we do receive are taken very seriously. As the festive season approaches, we will continue to work with partners to prevent harm, keep people safe and increasing public confidence in police and partner agencies.
“Our priority is to keep young people safe from harm and to ensure that they can exercise their freedom to enjoy a night out safely.”
