Students at the University of Bristol are being given kits to test drugs before taking them, in a scheme endorsed by both staff and student leaders.
The ‘harm reduction’ system run by The Drop, part of the Bristol Drugs Project, allows students to determine what they are taking before they use illegal drugs.
Students’ Union Student Living Officer Ruth Day claimed the scheme would help keep students “as safe as possible”, but the move has been criticised by The Christian Institute.
