Stamp Out Spiking (SOS) - the UK's leading charity dedicated to ending drink spiking. Drink spiking is a calculated, often premeditated crime, and it’s far more common than most people realise.
Victims are left traumatised, disbelieved, and in some cases seriously harmed – yet spiking remains poorly understood, rarely prosecuted, and dangerously underreported.
It affects people of all genders, in every kind of setting – from clubs and pubs to festivals, house parties, and even student halls.

International Security & Resilience Conference
With spiking set to become a standalone criminal offence under the Police and Crime Bill currently progressing through Parliament, security professionals and venue operators face a pivotal moment for compliance and leadership. In this session, Dawn Dines—founder and CEO of Stamp Out Spiking—shares practical guidance on how the industry can align with forthcoming legal changes, meet evolving public expectations, and implement best-practice prevention strategies. Drawing on extensive collaboration with police forces, government departments, and national industry bodies, Dawn outlines how accredited training, proactive safeguarding, and coordinated response protocols can position your organisation at the forefront of public safety in the night-time economy.
