This training is designed for all organisations and employees, and is particularly relevant for those with an interest in the subject, including nighttime economy workers, hospitality staff, education staff, support workers, or anyone committed to creating safe spaces.
Around 1.2 million people in the UK reported experiencing spiking in one year, and 11% of adults believe they been spiked at some point in their life.
