School Holiday Safety Tips From Saps

With school holidays in full swing, the South African Police Service (SAPS) is urging parents and young people to prioritise safety while enjoying their break. A new SAPS awareness campaign highlights key safety rules for children and teens, encouraging vigilance, communication, and confidence.

Key Holiday Safety Tips:

• Don’t go out alone – Stick with friends or family.
• Always inform an adult where you're going.
• Say NO if you feel threatened – Trust your instincts and speak up.

The campaign also promotes the My SAPS mobile app, a free tool for reporting crimes and emergencies anonymously.
