Get Involved

National Personal Safety Day 2010 is open to everyone to get involved. This year’s SIMPLE STEPS campaign offers everybody valuable advice on how to stay safe when out and about on the streets.

Individuals

If you are concerned about your own and your loved ones safety, you can download the Personal Safety Tips and discuss them with your family. You could also ask your employer and/or your children’s school what they are doing to mark the day. Check out the Fundraising section to see what you, your workplace or local schools could be doing to highlight the issue of travel safety whilst raising valuable funds for Suzy Lamplugh Trust.

Teachers/Youth Workers

If you want to promote the SIMPLE STEPS safety messages to the children and young people in your care, check out the Schools section for the safety information and a list of ideas and activities you can use. You will also find some fun ideas in the Fundraising section which might be appropriate for you. If you do decide to mark National Personal Safety Day this year, let us know about it (email press@suzylamplugh.org) and we’ll highlight your activities on the website!

Employers

If you are an employer who believes your staff would benefit from the SIMPLE STEPS campaign safety advice, why not download the Personal Safety Tips and email them to all staff or publish them in the staff newsletter. More info to follow shortly!

As an organization you may also want to get involved in raising much needed funds for Suzy Lamplugh Trust. If so, check the Fundraising section. Finally, if you do decide to promote the campaign within your organization, let us know about it (email press@suzylamplugh.org) and we can highlight your activities on the website!

Local Authorities/Councils

National Personal Safety Day 2010 not only offers local authorities and councils the chance to promote the SIMPLE STEPS campaign’s safety advice to local residents, it also offers the ideal opportunity to highlight the safety initiatives which have already been taken, or are being planned, in their area – such as better street lighting; more community policing; more cameras on buses; safe waiting areas at stations/bus stops etc.

If you wish to take advantage of National Personal Safety Day 2010 to promote any initiatives of your own which aim to improve Personal Safety, then we would be happy to support you. Also, if you send us the relevant information (email press@suzylamplugh.org) we will highlight what you are planning to do on the official National Personal Safety Day website.
