📚🎒 Back to School Safety Advice from Seven Kings Safer Neighbourhood Team 🎒📚

As children and young people head back to school, Seven Kings SNT would like to wish everyone a safe, successful, and enjoyable new school year.

Here are a few simple safety tips to help keep our young people safe:

✅ Plan your journey - Use well-lit, busy routes and avoid shortcuts through isolated areas.

✅ Stay alert - Avoid distractions such as mobile phones or loud music whilst walking to and from school.

✅ Road safety first - Always use designated crossings, look both ways before crossing, and take extra care around busy roads.

✅ Keep valuables secure - Store phones, wallets, and other valuables out of sight when not in use.

✅ Travel safely on public transport - Be mindful of your belongings and report any suspicious behaviour to transport staff or police.

✅ Know who to contact - If you feel unsafe or witness crime or anti-social behaviour, tell a trusted adult, teacher, or contact the police.

🤝 Seven Kings SNT will continue to carry out high-visibility patrols around schools, transport hubs, and key locations to help keep our community safe.

Let's work together to ensure all children have a safe and positive start to the new school year.
