Safety tips

• Up until the age of 10, always supervise your child closely, holding their hand when crossing a road. Your child can hold onto a pram, clothes or bag if you don’t have a free hand
• Teach your child to cross the road at traffic lights or pedestrian crossings
• Always Stop, Look, Listen and Think before crossing the road
  • Stop – 1 step back from the road
  • Look – both ways
  • Listen – for signs of traffic
  • Think – if it’s safe to cross the road
• Watch for cars and never assume that they have seen you
• Try to remove distractions and don’t talk or text on your phone while you are walking with your child near the road
• Walk on the footpath rather than the road.
