- Anyone 10 years old or over carrying a knife in public could receive a prison sentence
- Here are some links to help you understand why you are much safer if you do not carry a knife.

Why would YOU want to take the risk?
'Stay knife-free!'
Darker nights are here again
Play safely and think 'Safety'
- If you are on your bike, always make sure that you have lights front and rear when lights are required and a red reflector at the rear. Wear bright/light/reflective clothes
- Remember your road safety rules, especially if you wish to cross the road
- A road with traffic is not a playground - find somewhere safe to play
Water Safety
When we are having fun it can be so easy to forget about keeping safe. You can be at risk at any time and not just during the holidays
As it gets colder and water freezes, rivers and ponds can look like a fun place to play
S T O P
Don't take the risk
-
keep away from rivers or ponds because:
.1. The river might look as if it is frozen but the ice might be thin and there could be a strong current below the surface making it very difficult for you to keep safe and dragging you under the surface
2. The frozen river or pond might look shallow but the depth can change from shallow to very deep in a single step. Out of your depth, you could be in great danger
3. There might be rubbish or tree roots hidden from view that could trap you putting you in great danger.
