Haringey Police are to spend a week giving personal safety talks to school children.

Starting on October 8, officers will be visiting 11 schools across the borough to talk to students about how to stay safe.

During the week they expect to speak to 12,000 pupils aged 11 to 18.

The event has been organised by Northumberland Park Safer Neighbourhoods Team’s Sergeant Jim MacPherson to support the Suzy Lamplugh Trust’s National Personal Safety Day.

Officers will also be collecting unwanted mobile phones to raise money for the Suzy Lamplugh Trust, a charity which aims to reduce fear of crime by giving people the knowledge they need to keep themselves safe.
