Staying Safe
Feeling Safe
Young people have the right to be safe. You should never feel you have to deal with any kind of abuse alone. If you can, tell a person you can trust, such as a parent, teacher, relative or friend.
There are also some other ways of getting help, such as contacting Childline or other people who can talk to you in confidence. See the Local Safe guarding Children Board website for more information.
If you are being bullied, see information on the Bullying webpage.
The Internet and chat rooms are a fun way of keeping in touch with friends, but you need to know the risks so you can stay safe while you surf the web.
Thames Valley Police has launched a summer anti-social behaviour campaign- it's not a good look.
With the help of Oxfordshire school pupils, Thames Valley Police developed a YouTube video to help young people stay safe this summer and to appreciate the consequences of anti-social behaviour (ASB). The film shows the impact that ASB can have on other people, as well as the consequences of noisy and rowdy behaviour.
The film features a group of teenagers and follows them through their end of term celebrations, starting with them getting ready to go out and ending with them being stopped by the police in a park. It shows the effects that drinking can have on behaviour and how annoying and intimidating ASB can be.
Full details of the campaign and further information are available on a dedicated Facebook page www.facebook.com/notagoodlook
