Advice for Parents

Discuss and agree where your child will be on the night.
Discuss and agree with your child on a reasonable time to be home.
Discuss and agree with your child on how they will get to and from an event.
Arrange a meeting point e.g. Guildhall, The Diamond or the City Hotel.
You and your child should ensure that you can be contacted. It is wise to have a friend’s number and/or have the phone number and address of the event (if practical).
If your child is going to a friend’s house, find out which adults will be present.
Never drink and drive.
Make sure your mobile phone is charged and if possible you have credit (however remember that emergency 999 calls are always free);
As a parent/responsible adult, it would be wise to moderate your alcohol intake in case of emergency. If you have agreed to be a driver in case of an emergency, avoid drinking alcohol.

Be organised
Accompany your teenagers into the town centre, know where they are and arrange to meet up or have their travel plans in place when the event is over
Taxi points are available
