"Look confident... Move with purpose and try to be aware of your surroundings."

 "If you're threatened with violence, don't risk your personal safety. Property can be replaced, you can't." 

"Hide it. Keep your mobile phone and valuables out of sight... Never leave a mobile, wallet or purse on the table of an outdoor café..." 

 "Stick to well-lit routes when walking at night. Keep your phone charged and let someone know your route if walking alone."

"Stick together – go out in a group... If something doesn't feel right, report it to bar staff, security or the police." 

"Don't Plonk It – Park It!": "Obstructing pavements is extremely dangerous... Vehicles found blocking paths may be seized."

School Safety: "Park and Stride'—park at least two roads away and walk." 

Walk Facing Traffic: This prevents cars from pulling up behind you unnoticed.

Avoid Headphones: Using headphones or mobile phones reduces awareness.

Keys Ready: Have your keys in hand when approaching your car or home.
