Signs of spiking appear suddenly and can include rapid changes in levels of intoxication, drowsiness, confusion vomiting, loss of consciousness or being disorientated. If you see someone experiencing these symptoms, report it to someone you trust, bar staff or the Police immediately.

BBN team up with MariBeth from Scottish Drug Forum, Scottish Families Affected by Alcohol and Drugs, to offer free Naloxone training at Strathclyde Students Union……..

Known as the “Bystander Approach” the training is designed to equip people with the tools and confidence to safely intervene in situations, where they see people are vulnerable and at risk of harm.

With the support of the Scottish Hospitality Group and Dumfries and Galloway Alcohol and Drug Partnership , staff and managers from local pubs and bars were trained in the Bystander approach.
