Staying safe is very important when going anywhere with your family, be it in the UK or further afield, and travel safety considerations should always take priority. Here are some tips to help you stay safe when on holiday or travelling with family:

• Understand the local customs and culture. Do your research before you go and make sure you are familiar with what the country will expect of you.
• Always stay aware of your surroundings. Don’t go to places that seem too quiet – there might be a reason for that. There is no need to be afraid of everything, but have your wits about you. This advice will serve you well wherever you are travelling in the world.
• Stay together. Don’t let people go off alone, especially younger children. Ensure that you know and are familiar with the area before allowing this, and even then, always keep an eye out for each other.
