Personal Safety Tips
- Think ahead and plan your journey, avoiding deserted areas.
- Try to avoid walking alone at night, and keep to well-lit main roads where possible. You should try to avoid short cuts like alleyways, waste ground and wooded, bushy areas.
- Stay alert: be aware of what’s going on around you.
- It is always worth letting someone know where you are going, the route you intend to take and when you expect to return.
- Consider investing in a mobile phone. There are various services available for light users. (see also Mobile Phone safety)
- Try to avoid wearing headphones – your ability to hear traffic, strangers or potential trouble is severely restricted.
