TIPS TO HELP YOU TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR OWN PERSONAL SAFETY

  • Avoid lonely or gloomy places, especially at night - walk with a friend, form a group, or stay with a crowd
  • Be aware of the people around you - fellow students, staff and others
  • Be wary of strangers, on foot or in cars, asking for directions
  • If someone follows you, go to a place where there are other people
  • Conceal valuable items
  • Respect your intuition - it could protect you from danger
  • Carry a personal alarm or be prepared to scream 'No!' loudly and run if threatened
  • Walk tall and don't look scared - confidence deters attackers
