Every young person wants to have a good time when they go out at night. But how many know how to make sure they have a safe time?
A special event held at East Berkshire college's Windsor campus in St Leonard's Road on Monday focussed on this problem. Students who came along were asked to fill in a questionnaire, offering a variety of choices they could make in potentially dangeous situations.
Community safety manager Brian Martin revealed that a worryingly large number of them got it wrong. He said: "The questions ranged from what to do in a situation where you feel something is wrong, to the safest ways to get home and what sort of person would be most likely to attract a mugger."
Advisors from Brian's team and a community warden were among the people there to give safety advice to young people who came along. The event was organised as part of National Personal Safety Day.
