BEFORE
YOU GO
|
Here
are a few things to remember before you begin your vacation.
|
|
| * |
A
single parent travelling with children should
ensure that permission from other parent is readily
available for authorities (this is to prevent
one parent abductions). This is especially important
for air/train or cross border travel. |
|
|
|
| |
| |
|
| * |
Always
ensure one parent is in charge of keeping an eye
on children and perhaps other parent can look
after arrangements for travel. |
|
|
|
| |
| |
|
| * |
Be
Prepared and know what to do in case of a Hotel
Fire |
|
|
|
| |
| |
|
| * |
Dressing
children in bright colours makes them readily
visible. Try to remember what they are wearing. |
|
|
|
| |
| |
|
| * |
If
you label children's clothing, make sure the label
is inside so strangers are not able to learn child's
name. |
|
|
|
| |
| |
|
| * |
Provide
a relative or friend with your travel itinerary
and the name and telephone number of any hotels
or resorts where you will be staying, if available. |
|
|
|
| |
| |
|
| * |
Provide
your children with the name, address and telephone
number of a relative or friend to contact in an
emergency. |
|
|
|
| |
| |
|
| * |
Remind
children about road safety rules, hold the hand
of children under nine at all times when crossing
a road or at an intersection. |
|
|
|
| |
| |
|
| * |
Remind
children about your family safety procedures for
dealing with strangers, what to do if they get
lost. |
|
|
|
| |
| |
|
| * |
Remind
older children to always tell you where they are
going |
