Getting ready for half-term

Half-term is almost here so it's time to start planning fun things to do and reminding yourself how to stay safe when out and about.

Safety first!

Half-term is the perfect time to have fun, catch up with friends, and take a break. But it's important to know how to stay safe whilst out having fun. When you are out and about make sure that you:

• Tell a trusted adult where you will be and when you will be back
• Know how you're getting there and back 
• Carry a mobile and know who to call if you need help
