Personal safety
This is how you can improve your personal safety:
- Tell someone where you are going – Let people know where you are going, who you are meeting, and what time you will be home. If you haven’t met them before, meet them in a public location. Also, consider if you are going to an area with poor phone reception.
- Plan – Use common sense when planning your route, especially if you travel at night. If you are travelling somewhere new, research your journey. Use licensed taxis and mini-cabs.
- Alcohol can affect your judgement – Always know your limitations. Never leave drinks unattended, don’t take drinks from strangers, and take care to stay with and look after your friends.
