Tips for staying safe
- Plan your travel
If you are planning a night out, remember to check the times of the last train, bus or ferry, or book a taxi. Let someone know where you are going and what time you plan to return home. - Keep bags safe
Carry your bag close to you with the clasp facing inwards. If someone grabs your bag, let it go and report it to the police – your safety is more important. - Travelling at night
It is always best to travel with friends. If you do need to travel alone, let people know where you are going and sit close to the driver or other passengers. - Avoid confrontation
If you are being threatened or hassled, it is safer to walk away. - Walking alone
Try to avoid walking alone at night. If you must, stay in well-lit areas, avoid listening to headphones, and only walk familiar routes.
