How to be safe in the streets

If the police arrive and block off a place – like when some one was shot at the bus stop, if the police tell you not to go into that place don’t go there.

If you are near to lots of people nothing will happen to you

Walk with people who you know

Look left and right when you cross the road

Don’t listen to strangers or talk to them

Don’t talk to people who are on drugs

Listen to adults when crossing the street

We went from school to Peckham Square thinking of ways to have more fun in the streets. When we were on the green path a big old English sheep dog came up to me and I patted and stroked it. It seemed friendly. We didn't know where its owner was though and Holly and the other adults were worried about whether it was safe. We agreed that it is safer to ask dog's owners before playing with them because you just don't know what might make them nervous.

Holly gathered the group together to discuss how stay safe when meeting a dog without an owner.

Everyone thought about what we needed to remember when crossing the road safely
