National Personal Safety Day 2012

Monday 8th October

National Personal Safety Day is an annual event aimed at raising awareness of the simple, practical solutions that everyone can use to help avoid violence and aggression in today’s society. It’s about helping people live safer, more confident lives.

The campaign for National Personal Safety Day 2012 is called

TECH NO CHANCES

Technology is a wonderful thing that few of us could see ourselves doing without. When it comes to personal safety it can be of great benefit: A teenager can text their parent to collect them if they are stranded; a pensioner can phone a friend if they have a problem and we can all keep in touch with family, friends and colleagues to check if they are ok. However there can be risks associated with some
technology so this campaign will highlight some practical, common sense precautions people can take to ensure that their personal technology works for them, not against them.

Further information about the campaign and how individuals, schools, workplaces, local authorities and community groups can become involved and order campaign resources, see the links on teh left. More information will be posted over the next few months. If you have any queries or you’d like all updates emailed to you as and when they become available, please email press@suzylamplugh.org
