Dear parents

Cons. Joanne Creighton, Neighbourhood Policing Team has just confirmed that a pupil in the school was recently approached by an unknown adult in a car in suspicious circumstances, while walking on a local country road with friends. 

As there had been a similar incident in recent months, we advise that parents discuss the following points with their children.

Children should NEVER:

• agree to meet a stranger. Do not go anywhere or do anything, with someone that you aren't comfortable with.
• take sweets or presents from someone you don't know.
• get into a car or vehicle belonging to someone you don't know.
• give your personal details to a stranger.

Children should ALWAYS

• tell your parents or a responsible adult where you are going and who you are with.
• arrange a time to be back- stick to it!
• look out for each other when you are playing with your friends.
• make sure you know the contact details of your parents, or a responsible adult that you can contact in an emergency.

Cons. Creighton will present a talk to children within the next few weeks to reinforce this important message.

If you would like to discuss any aspect of Stranger Danger, please feel free to contact me.

Kind regards

Peter Cush

Principal
