From December to February every year, we promote our Summer Street Smarts Campaign. We put together a wide range of tips and advice into one dedicated page on our website, and we share those tips and advice in our newsletters and on social media.
Each week we focused on advice for different things like road safety, heading away on holiday, online shopping and scams, party planning tips and summer fire safety.
Here are some of our top tips:
- Make it click! Always wear your seatbelt
- Don’t drink and fry
- Never give out your passwords, log in details, or account info
- Secure locks and fastenings on windows and doors when you’re out
- Notify a trusted neighbour, friend, or family member, but don’t tell the world you’ll be away
- Look Out, Reach Out, Help Out – The most important action you can take to make your community safer is to get to know the people who live around you. People who know each other are more likely to offer, accept, and ask for help when needed.
