Staying safe

When you are out and about remember to stay safe and streetwise:

• Use a nickname on internet chat rooms - never give your real name or address
• To meet someone you’ve met online, do so in a public place and take a friend.
• Don’t confront gangs.
• Don’t get involved in incidents – you may get hurt. Alert the police and be prepared to be a witness
• In pubs and clubs don’t leave your drinks unattended – ask a trusted friend to guard your glass if necessary.

There’s information about drink, drugs, bullying and safe sex on this site – check them out too.
