60 Second Security - Stranger Danger

This video is one of a series of ‘60 Second Security’ videos all around simple security advice. Designed to provide easy step by step tips, including advice on products and how to install and use them, helping to make you and your property that little bit safer.

 

Whilst the risk posed by strangers is rare, it’s really important to make children aware of simple tips they can follow to keep themselves a little safer.

 

This video on Stranger Danger is designed to highlight a few key points, to be used to help you have that important conversation with your child, pupil or class. It is aimed at aged 4 - 11 years.

 

It has been produced for parents, carers, families, teachers, schools and centres to use with young people to raise awareness and generate discussion that helps children keep safe.

 

We would advise you to talk about who your safe adults are and where there are safe places near you if help is needed.

 

It’s also important to think about safety on the internet and use of mobile phone apps and games that have ‘chat’ functions as this can be just as dangerous as a stranger in the street.
