Stranger danger refers to the potential risks children may face when interacting with unfamiliar individuals. Teaching children about this concept equips them with the knowledge and skills to protect themselves from potential harm.

Start Early:  Begin conversations about stranger danger as soon as your child starts school. 

Discussing things like : You should never go off with a stranger, Take things from a stranger,  Get in a car with a stranger.

Explain to your children : If anyone ever makes them feel uncomfortable, worried, or scared they should -:

* RUN :  Get to somewhere safe as quick as they can : This could be Home, School, Police Station, Friends House. 

* Tell  :   Mum, Dad, Carer, Teacher, Police Officer or a trusted grown up right away.
