Joint taskforce to create action plan to tackle spiking among students by autumn term
Ministers are trying to stamp out drink and drug spiking crimes at universities by setting up a taskforce to scrutinise the problem over the summer.
The joint initiative from the Department for Education and the Home Office will see vice-chancellors, police representatives and campaigners create a working group to explore ways to prevent drink-spiking crimes against students. A full list of members of the working group will be published in due course.
