Crisis and problem situations

3. Drugging case

It may be difficult to prove that drugging has taken place but even suspicion of it is strong enough grounds for following these steps:  

1. Take the person to a separate, quiet room. Do not leave them alone.
2. Call 112 and ensure that the person gets into the ambulance.
3. Suspend the event and tell all the participants what has happened. However, remember to protect the victim’s identity. No personal information of theirs may be revealed to the other participants.
4. If possible, discuss the matter with the event organisers during the same evening.

5. Contact HYY’s specialist in organisations or secretary general. More detailed instructions are available in the sections of this guide covering how to deal with a crisis and crisis communication.
