• Travel in groups of two or more, even during the daytime, whenever possible
• Stick to well-lit, safe routes   that can easily be overseen

• Be aware of your surroundings at all times - do not use mobile phones/headphones whilst walking
• Do not carry large amounts of cash/valuables
• Keep your phone hidden away in a pocket rather than in a bag, so that you can call the police if necessaryIsolated short cuts should always be treated with caution, even if it seems tempting to take a short cut
