Make the Safer Choice!

1 of 4

For grown-ups

Companion summary

Have you ever had a moment where something felt a little off, and you were not sure what to do next? Every day, small choices — like who you walk home with or what you share online — can keep you safer than you might think. One great trick is the "traffic light pause": stop, think, then choose, just like a red light slowing traffic. When you finish today, try spotting one choice you made that kept you or a friend safe.

What Would You Do?

Imagine you are walking home and you see a path you have never used before. It looks like a shortcut, but it is dark and you cannot see where it goes. Your tummy gives you a funny nervous feeling. Have you ever had that feeling before? That feeling is your body giving you a clue. Today you will find out what to do when you get clues like that — and how to make the choice that keeps you safe.

Spotting Risk and Choosing Safer

Every day you make hundreds of choices. Some choices are easy and low- — like picking what to eat for lunch. Other choices can affect your safety or the safety of people around you. These are times when you need to think carefully. A risk is the chance that something harmful could happen. A is an action that reduces, or lowers, the chance of harm. Making a safer choice does not mean you never have fun — it means you look after yourself while you enjoy life. How do you spot a risky situation? Look for s: • You feel uncomfortable, scared, or unsure. • Someone is pressuring you to do something quickly without thinking. • The activity is against a rule that exists to protect you. • You would not want a to see what you are doing. When you spot a warning sign, use the STOP–THINK–CHOOSE steps: 1. STOP — pause before you act. 2. THINK — ask yourself, 'Could anyone get hurt? Is this allowed? How would I feel if something went wrong?' 3. CHOOSE — pick the option that keeps you and others safe. If you are not sure, ask a trusted adult for help. Trusted adults are grown-ups you know personally who you can talk to when you need help — like a parent, carer, or teacher.

Worked example

Situation: Your friend dares you to climb a tall wall to get a ball back. Other children are watching and cheering. STOP — Pause. Do not just climb straight away. THINK — Could I fall and get hurt? Is climbing that wall allowed? Would a trusted adult be worried if they saw me? CHOOSE — You decide to ask a nearby adult to help get the ball safely, or you find another way to reach it without climbing so high. This is a safer choice. You still solved the problem — and nobody got hurt.

Try It Yourself

2. Your friends want to cross a busy road away from the crossing because it looks quicker. You feel nervous. What should you do?

3. Which of these is a warning sign that a situation might not be safe?

4. You find a small bottle of medicine on the playground. What is the safer choice?

5. A friend dares you to send a mean message about someone else, saying it is 'just a joke'. What should you do?
