Important holiday safety announcement
As we approach the summer holidays here are some essential points on keeping your family safe.
· Do not allow young children to go out alone. Do not allow them to go to the shops unaccompanied and never in charge of even younger children.
· Always help children to cross roads. Remember children under 9 years old cannot judge car distances.
· Always make sure you know and trust who you are bringing into your house to babysit. (Also be careful if you are unsure about people you are inviting in for a Shabbos meal).
· Never leave children home alone. There is no legal age for babysitting. A parent can be prosecuted if they do not ensure someone responsible is left in charge.
· Always make sure you know where your children are (all aged children) and when they are due back. If you are worried do not hesitate to call for help immediately.
· Train your children about safety awareness, not to talk to strangers, the dangers of roads and what to do if they get lost.
· Communicate with your children, make sure they understand that there are NO secrets from parents, if they need to talk they should know it is safe. If you have any concerns about anyone discuss it with a Rabbi or someone you trust in authority.
· Car drivers please drive with sensitivity around the area, not at crazy speeds down roads where children could be playing
In the merit of this may Hashem keep us all safe and free from harm
May we all have a safe and wonderful holiday
