National Personal Safety Day - Monday 11 October 2010

National Personal Safety Day is organised by the Suzy Lamplugh Trust, a UK charity devoted to providing practical support and personal safety guidance to reduce fear of crime and develop skills and strategies for avoiding crime and violence.

This is an annual event aimed at raising awareness for common sense and practical solutions that can be used 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.

The campaign for National Personal Safety Day 2010 (11th October) , SIMPLE STEPS, will highlight what simple, everyday steps people can take to help avoid becoming a victim of violence on the street, with particular emphasis on staying safe in their own neighbourhood. It is hoped that Neighbourhood Watch members, Neighbourhood Policing Teams & Community Safety teams across England and Wales will support the campaign.
