A statement from the LMSU Officer Team regarding the recent increase in spiking reports.
A message from your Officer Team...
Following the recent increase in reports of spiking incidents in the UK, LMSU has been working closely with The Rocket Bar to discuss how we can help reduce and control the risk of spiking in Nightclub venues.
This includes:
- Ask for Angela scheme has been implemented in the Rocket Bar and all staff members have been given Welfare and Vulnerability Training.
- First Aid Training – senior bar management are fully trained and The Rocket are looking into getting all staff members trained.
- Stop Topps bottle stops and foil cup covers have been ordered and will be available for free to anyone who requests one at the bar.
If you are spiked, you are the victim of a crime and we are here to support you in any way that we can.
Your safety and wellbeing is at the heart of what we do at LMSU and we encourage you to contact us for any support you may need. If there is anything else you as a student would like to see LMSU doing for you, please feel free to contact us at studentsunion@londonmet.ac.uk.
