What is Personal Safety?

Personal Safety is how you keep yourself safe, when you’re out and about where you live. This could be when you are walking to school, going shopping with your family, or visiting a theme park!

How to keep yourself safe.

You can do this by always letting your parent or guardian know if you are going out and more importantly where you will be. Your grown up will need to know this, in case of an emergency. If they know where you are, they can be there quicker to help you.

Never talk to strangers that you or your family don’t know. Not every adult is a safe stranger.

Never go anywhere or get into any vehicle, with a stranger or grown up that you or your family don’t know.

What is Unsafe?

• Talking to strangers either on the way to school or maybe at the park near where you live
• NOT telling your parent or guardian where you are going and where you will be
• Strangers giving you “things/packages” to look after and not knowing what’s in them.
