If using an internet chat room use a nickname, never give your real name or address.

• If arranging to meet someone you’ve met over the net, do so in a public place and take a friend.
• Don’t confront gangs.
• If you observe an incident, don’t get involved – there may be weapons involved. Alert the police and be prepared to be a witness.
• In pubs and clubs don’t leave your drinks unattended – ask a trusted friend to guard your glass if necessary.
