Stay Safe When Socialising Over the Christmas Season

Here are a few tips from Thames Valley Police to help keep you safe when ‘partying’ over the Christmas Season:

• Drink sensibly and stay with your friends
• Plan in advance how you will get home
• Save the number of a licensed taxi firm on your mobile phone
• Don’t accept drinks from strangers or leave your drink unattended
• If there’s trouble while you’re out, stay well clear of it
• Avoid walking alone through dark or unsafe areas (men as well as women)
• Keep your belongings with you and your valuables out of sight
• Don’t drink and drive, and remember you may still be over the limit the morning after a big night out
