National Personal Safety Day, which is organised by the Suzy Lamplugh Trust, is an annual event aimed at raising awareness of common sense, practical solutions that everyone can use to help avoid violence and aggression in today’s society. The awareness day has been running for the last 9 years and it is gradually growing and reaching more and more people each year This year’s SIMPLE STEPS campaign highlights what simple, everyday steps people can take to help avoid becoming a victim of violence on the streets, with particular emphasis on staying safe in their own neighbourhood. It takes three things for an aggressive or violent incident to take place – a victim, a perpetrator and an opportunity. By following the SIMPLE STEPS safety tips, we can reduce the opportunities and therefore the risk of becoming a victim. For more information visit www.suzylamplugh.org/simplesteps .
