Don't forget to make sure you,
your family and your friends are safe when you're out and about in
the evening. The county-wide Nightsafe group has three key
messages:
- Friends stick together
- Get home safe
- Don't overdo it
Safety messages
- If you are going out in the evening, don’t go alone. Go in a
group and stay in a group. Plan how you’ll get home and stick to
that plan. If you're going to drink, know your limits and remember
alcohol can make you more vulnerable.
- Parents - it may not be cool, but give your daughters a lift to
and from their parties and nights out.
- If you have to go out alone, make sure you let someone know
where you're going, and what time you'll be back.
- Keep to well-lit streets and keep in contact with people - have
your mobile phone handy. Personal attack alarms are available to
buy from
Suffolk
police stations, and the
SGR FM
Thunders team also give out attack alarms at their events.
- Use pre-arranged taxis – avoid flagging them down in the
street.
- If you are worried, call the police immediately.
