Think ahead and plan your journey, avoiding
deserted areas.
Try to avoid walking alone at night, and keep to
well-lit main roads where possible. You should try to avoid short
cuts like alleyways, waste ground and wooded, bushy areas.
Stay alert: be aware of what’s going on around
you.
It is always worth letting someone know where you
are going, the route you intend to take and when you expect to
return.
Consider investing in a mobile phone. (But be very
careful to use it only in safe environments).
Try to avoid wearing headphones, your ability to
hear traffic, strangers or potential trouble is severely
restricted.
