1. STRANGERS AND STAYING SAFE
September 2016

2. What is a STRANGER?
A “stranger” is someone you do not know.

3. What does a stranger look like?.
You can’t tell what people are like from looking at them or even talking to them.

4. There are two kinds of strangers...
There are good strangers.
But there are also strangers who we can’t trust.

5. Safe Strangers are...
Adults that we know will help us if we need it. Safe adults can be lots of different people. You can trust
All of the adults in our school
People working in shops
Police officers
Doctors, ambulance workers, school nurses

6. School crossing patrol

7. When should I worry about strangers?
If they offer you something like sweets
If they ask if you want a lift or ask you to get in their car
If they ask you to go somewhere
If they say they know your parents
If they follow you or try to join in with your games
If they do something that makes you feel uncomfortable

8. What should I do if any of these things happen?

9. SAY NO LOUDLY! It is OK to say NO to someone you don’t know!
Say it loud and clear, let them know you mean it!

10. Get away from the stranger to a safe place
Somewhere busy
Somewhere where there are safe adults

11. And then we can do our job of keeping you safe!
TELL A SAFE ADULT
And then we can do our job of keeping you safe!

12. What you SHOULD know... 1. Your name, address, and phone number
2. Your parent’s names and where they work
3. What number you call in an emergency - 999

13. Remember that most strangers are nice but we can’t tell by looking at them so we need to be careful. And sometimes people who aren’t strangers can hurt us or make us feel bad. If you feel worried or something has happened that made you feel unsafe, tell someone who you trust.
