Keep yourself safe

Here's some tips on how you can stay safe while having fun.

Before you go out, remember the three Ws: Always tell your parents or carers: WHERE you are going WHO you are going with WHEN you will be home

• Make sure you know your home address and telephone number off by heart

• Give your parents or carers a phone number where you can be contacted

• If you have a mobile, make sure it is switched on

• If anyone is making you feel unhappy, tell an adult you know and trust

• Say "No" in a very loud voice if someone wants to touch you in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable or unhappy

• Shout loudly and try to get away if someone you don't like tries to make you go with them or tries to make you do things you don't like

• Never talk to strangers and never take gifts from them, no matter how friendly they seem

• If you get lost in a public place, be careful about who you ask for help. Look for a police officer, or a shop assistant, or someone with a young child
