Put Kids First - Safety issues facing children, parents and the community.

------ Target Proof Your Kids! ---»
Here are some things you can do... Ensure that your children never walk to or from school alone. Make sure your children always use the buddy system. Show your children safe places to go if someone ever approaches them while they are walking home (with their buddy of course).	Reinforce the importance of the "Buddy System"!
Teach your children that if a car ever approaches them, to run in the opposite direction that the car is facing, and always tell a trusted adult as soon as possible Ensure your children know that it is not their responsibility to help adults. If an adult needs help finding something, or getting directions, they should ask another adult. Teach your children to trust their instincts. If something makes them uncomfortable, take their concerns seriously. Ask your child's school to help!!! Ask your PAC to bring Put Kids First into your school to speak. If not a policy now, ask your school to have younger students go to the washrooms in pairs.

Safety Tips for All Ages!

Walk against the flow of traffic, you will be able to see approaching cars.

In parking lots, try not to park beside vans without windows, or whose windows are blacked out.

Remember, always be aware of your surroundings and what’s going on around you, and trust your instincts
