A Parents Guide:Personal Safety for your child

Self Defence – 13 Personal Safety Tips

1. NEVER WANDER OFF!
Never wander off alone. Always ask your parents first before going off anywhere or with anyone.
2. Always travel with a friend when going to and from school, it's a lot safer and makes the trip a lot more fun. Use main roads and well light streets in winter months and avoid short cuts and isolated places.

3. STAY AWAY FROM PUBLIC TOILETS:
Always be wary of public toilets. Children should never play near public toilets or go into them alone without a supervising older person.

4. ARRANGE TO HAVE MEETING PLACES:
When out and about always arrange to have a meeting place in case you get lost.

5. If anyone asks you to go with them, no matter what they promise or offer, whether you know them or not, DO NOT GO!! You must say "NO!" Only your parents can give you permission.

6. Have a secret family password that you must hear if an unexpected lift arrives or a message is sent, and then you know for sure it is OK.
7. ADULTS DO NOT ASK FOR HELP FROM CHILDREN!
Adults who need help or directions should not approach children they should ask another adult. Always keep a safe distance so if anyone makes you feel unsafe you can walk or run quickly away. Tell your parents, a teacher, a policeman or go to a safety house or shop and explain. Ask your parents where the nearest safe places are.

8. Stranger Grab YOU:
If someone holds you and won't let you go or tries to force you to go with them then yell, scream and shout "FIRE!" and/or "FIRE Help me!" making as much NOISE as you can to attract help.
Also throw your bag or whatever you can and scatter your belongings everywhere. This may distract the person holding you so you may escape. The reason we yell fire is because if you yell "No!" on looking parents will just think you’re acting out, if we yell fire it attracts attention, once you have another persons attention you should start yelling, "This is not my dad/mum help please"!

9. Your body belongs to nobody but you. If anyone touches you in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable or in a way that you think is wrong then say "No!" If you are told to keep it a secret, or offered a gift not to tell, say "No!" You must always tell, no matter what.

10. If you ever have a problem or feel unsafe, then keep talking about it, until someone helps you.
12. "SAY NO TO STRANGER"!
What is a stranger? Simply a stranger is someone you don’t know or don’t know well. Even your next door neighbour can be a stranger, if you were invited in for a drink, say politely "No thank you"! Inform your parents.
*For free Workshops on Stranger Awareness for your child email info@solomartialarts.co.uk

13. Stranger Awareness: The Sweet lure.
Were ever you are playing, the park, in school yard, your front garden never accept sweets from a stranger always say "No thank you"! A major important part is not only learning to say no but also maintain a safe distance. If a stranger takes one step forward, you step back. If the Stranger keeps stepping forward then run away and tell someone about this person, DO NOT LET A STRANGE get into grabbing range.

I will be realising allot more information packs and ebooks on such topics: Confidence building, anti bullying, practical self defence, fitness.
