Safe Travel
* Plan your journey to and from home.
* Avoid going to a club, pub or party alone.
* Don’t risk traveling with a driver who you think may be drunk or on drugs.
* Make sure somebody knows where you are going and what time you will be home.
* Always carry your bag close to you with the clasp facing inwards. Keep your house keys in your pocket and if someone grabs your bag let it go. Remember to keep hold of your bags in restaurants and pubs.
* If you think someone is following you, check by crossing the street – more than once if necessary – to see if they follow. If you are still worried, get to the nearest place where there are other people – a pub or anywhere with a lot of lights on – and call the police.
* Consider carefully whether to leave a pub, club or party with somebody you have just met.
* Don’t take short-cuts through dark alleys, parks or across waste ground. Walk facing the traffic.
