Staying Safe 👷🏽
-
Plan your night: know where you're going and how to get there and back from your accomodation
-
Stick together: stay with friends, don't wander off alone, especially in a new city!
-
Stay alert: if you're at a bar, make sure you keep an eye on your friends, and on your drinks to prevent spiking
-
If in doubt, point it out: If something doesn't seem right, speak to a member of staff at the event you're attending - they're there to help!
