Plans events are designed to be social, and held in safe, welcoming venues. It's always worth taking a few simple precautions so you can focus on having a great time.
Go at your own pace: there's no pressure to share personal details or stay longer than you're comfortable with.
Let someone know: tell a friend or family member where you're going, who you're with, and when you expect to be back.
Plan your journey home: have a route in mind before the night starts, whether that's public transport, a taxi, or a lift with someone you trust.
Trust your instincts: If something doesn’t feel right, it’s okay to step away, check in with your +1, or leave early.
Bring your +1: arriving with someone you trust may make settling in easier.
