Safer Nights Out

When you’re out

Ask Angela – if you feel something is wrong and need help, go to the bar staff and ask for Angela. They will know you’re worried and will discreetly help you out of the situation.

If you see someone looking uncomfortable you can help them by asking if they are ok.

Don’t leave your phone on the table when eating out or socialising. It is easy to be taken by distraction.

Alcohol safety

Always remember to drink responsibly
Don’t pre-drink excessively
Never feel pressured into drinking if you don’t want to. There are plenty of alternative social events, both on and off campus for you to enjoy
Never leave your drink unattended or accept drinks from strangers
Go out in a group, stay in a group, go home in a group
Plan how you are going to get home before you go out
Drink lots of water before you go to bed
