Surf the web for student safety
Warwickshire County Council’s Community Safety Team and Warwickshire Drug and Alcohol Action Team have launched a new mini website offering student safety information at the click of a mouse.
‘DAAT at College’ includes links to the club, pub and party guide ‘What’s your poison’; drug and alcohol information from the Young Persons Substance Misuse Service; and student safety tips on moving in/out and distraction burglary to name a couple.
This information will also be available when representatives from the Community Safety Team and Warwickshire DAAT visit Fresher Fair events at Warwickshire College in Leamington and Stratford-upon-College on Wednesday 17 September.
Cllr Richard Hobbs, Warwickshire County Council’s Portfolio Holder for Community Protection, said: “We hope the information included on the website will go some way to helping students make informed choices about their safety whilst at college or university, and we hope they enjoy their time in Warwickshire.”
