As schools break up for the summer holidays, we encourage all parents and carers to speak with their children about staying safe while enjoying their time off. Please remind children to: Tell a trusted adult where they are going and when they expect to be home.Stay with friends and avoid isolated areas.Take extra care around rivers, lakes, canals, ponds, and other open water – never swim in unsupervised locations.Avoid alcohol and drugs, and never give in to peer pressure.Respect local communities and avoid antisocial behaviour.Keep mobile phones charged where possible and know who to contact in an emergency.Stay safe online and be cautious when communicating with people they do not know.A few simple conversations can make a big difference. We hope everyone has a safe, enjoyable, and memorable summer holiday. |
