We are committed as your Students’ Union and a night time venue to continue to campaign for lasting change to ensure that all of our students feel safe to enjoy a night out in the Guild and in the city. A person’s drink can be spiked to make them more vulnerable for a variety of reasons, including theft, sexual assault or as an attempted joke. It is illegal to spike someone’s drink and the maximum sentence for someone found guilty of spiking is 10 years in prison. The responsibility for these incidents lies solely with the perpetrators. Everyone has the right to feel safe on a night out. It is not your fault if you have been spiked on a night out Across our social media channels, website and in our venue, we are sharing resources on what to do if you or your friends have been spiked, what we are doing a venue to keep you safe and the support available. We are also sharing tips on how you can be an Active Bystander, equipping you with the knowledge and skills so you are confident in intervening to stop or diffuse a situation that you know is wrong. Active Bystander help to create a community culture where victims feel supported and incidents of harassment are not tolerated. You can find out more about this in our Safe Night Out Information hub here. But this is just the beginning, we recognise that there is still work to do to ensure all students feel safe on a night out. We will continue to embed this conversation into our upcoming work and continue to campaign for lasting change because we all deserve a safe night out.
