A student has said more needs to be done to prevent spiking after the government announced new measures to protect students.

The University of Nottingham's Poppy Read-Pitt - who believes she was spiked in 2020 - said more information needed to be made available to freshers.

On Tuesday, the government announced a new working group that aims to stamp out the "heinous" offence.

But Ms Read-Pitt said more needed to be done to tackle its prevalence.

The government announced the group would bring together vice-chancellors, police, campaigners and victims.

It follows a sharp rise in reports of spiking at UK universities, including spiking by injection.
