The responsibility and fault is always with the person spiking a drink. It is never your fault if your drink has been spiked<\/em>. If someone becomes much more unwell or intoxicated than expected, tell venue staff, get somewhere safe and stay together. If someone is seriously unwell or in immediate danger, call 999.<\/p>\n At participating venues, you can Ask for Angela<\/strong><\/a> if you feel unsafe or uncomfortable. Staff can help you find friends, arrange safe transport or contact security.<\/p>\n If you experience or witness abuse, harassment or hate, you can report anonymously or ask for support through Report and Support<\/a><\/strong>. Asking for support does not automatically start a formal complaint.
