- If you have an AVO carry it with you at all times.
- Tell your family and friends. Try to have people around you.
- Trust your instincts. If you don't feel safe in a situation - GET OUT.
- Check doors and windows around the house are secure and lockable.
- Talk to your neighbours. Ask them to call the police if they are concerned about your safety.
- Have quick access to a phone - borrow a mobile phone if necessary, at home have a cordless phone close to hand.
- Always call 000 in an emergency rather than the local police station. Not all stations are staffed at all times.
