- Keep to well-used roads. Don't use alleyways or short cuts.
- Walk against the flow of traffic.
- In the dark, always stick to well-lit areas.
- If you think you're being followed, cross the road. If the person follows you, cross it again. If you are still worried, go at once to a place where there are lots of people, such as a busy shop, and tell someone what's going on. If you can, choose a police officer; if not, go to a family group rather than a single adult and tell them. Always report this kind of thing to the police, even if it's over. You won't be wasting police time.
- Carry a whistle, or better still, a very noisy screech or shrill alarm.
