Stranger Danger tips: Think aware: Know that some people are not as nice as they seem Think smart: Be smart when you are out, who is near you and what is happening? Think ahead: Make sure someone knows where you are and try not to go alone. Work out with your

parent/carers what to do in an emergency. Think first: If you feel unsafe, go to a busy shop, police station, call a friend or family member, stay with

your friend, find a trusted adult. Never go off alone.

When you are out tips: Make sure someone knows where you are and when you will be back. Walk on bus streets if you are alone, try not to be alone. Avoid short cuts, laneways or car parks. Walk facing traffic coming towards you. Don’t walk alone with headphones in, you can’t hear what’s going on around you. Always have your mobile phone, wallet and money if you can. Look out for your friends.

If you think you're being followed tips: Cross the street. Look for a shop or petrol station and go in to ask for help. Use your mobile to tell someone where you are and what is happening. Keep walking towards home or a

safe place while you talk. If someone tries to steal things from you let them have your bag or whatever. Shout "Fire! Police! Help!," as loudly as you can if someone is trying to get hold of you. Keep shouting and

struggling to attract attention.

If you think a car is following you tips: Turn around so the car will have to turn round to follow you. Do not go near the car even if someone calls your name. Write down the car's number plate if you can and what make of car or try to take a photo— but keep

walking. Put the number into your mobile phone if you have one with you. Look for a safe place to run to or try to catch up to other people walking ahead of you. Use your mobile to call for help if you have one.

Home alone tips: Don't let strangers into the house. Always make sure the screen door is locked if you answer a knock at the door. Keep doors and windows locked. If you hear someone trying to break in then switch all the lights on and call the Police on 000.

At the shops tips:

Make sure you know where and when to meet up with your friends and your parent or carer. Keep your money and mobile phone out of sight. Stay away from groups of noisy kids as sometimes there can be trouble. Keep an eye on your things at all times. Be aware that shop assistants will be watching you. Be on time and at the right place to meet up with your adults or work out together for extra time eg. If you

want to grab a drink or a snack. Give them a call if there is a reason why you might not be there on time. Getting to go somewhere without your parents or carers is a big worry for them. They are responsible for

your safety and wellbeing -- and they care about you.
