A night out at the Nottingham Goose Fair is a great experience
that has been enjoyed by families for generations. The ambiance, the smell of the hot dogs and
the thrill of the rides can make for an unforgettable experience. But how can you be sure you, your family,
friends including loved ones stay safe?
Stay Safe in
the Crowd
Make it good practice to know the location of Emergency Exits and
First Aid points in case of the unlikely event of any illness or incident.
Maintain your awareness, keep your eyes up, and off the smart phone, as large
crowds are an absolute pick pocketers paradise as well distraction robberies.
Keep your keys separate from your bag and easy to access, not only does this mean you can get inside quickly, if you’re your bag is stolen you can still get home.

Do not take short cuts in poorly lit areas, parks or alleyways,
trust your intuition? If it does not feel right move away fast, seek help if
required.
Only use licensed Taxis and pre-book them if you can. At least
then they are looking for you.
Finally, listen to your intuition and follow your
instincts to safety. Don’t be afraid to be impolite, and never stay in an
uncomfortable situation.
Take only
what you need? Leave any valuables that you do not need at need at home or in your vehicle

Heading Back To Campus:
Personal Safety Is Essential…
Simple, Practical and Effective Self-Défense Strategies for
University Students
Over the next
few days students across the country will be moving away from home for the
first time to attend colleges and universities in brand new cities and
towns. For most students, college is the
first time they will be living without supervision, making their own decisions,
experimenting with different social scenes and staying out late -- all while
being surrounded by new and unfamiliar faces. While the college experience is
always exciting and life changing, often these new living arrangements can
present students with circumstances in which they are unsure how to navigate
the social scene while protecting and defending themselves.
“Most
university campuses are incredibly safe and crime is relatively rare,” says
Stephen Drake, lifelong martial artist, security training and development
manager and author of many published articles on both personal protection and
self-defence. “We all know, however,
that because of the college lifestyle of late nights and beverage consumption,
students can be easy targets for petty crime and personal attacks.” Mr. Drake suggests the following simple
self-defence strategies for students;
Always trust
your instinct. If your gut is telling you
something doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t (your more perceptive than you
think). Go back to where you came from,
contact campus security or find people as quickly as you can.
Always travel
in groups. Never walk alone at night. Avoid "shortcuts". Criminals, like predators, try to isolate
their prey from the herd. Groups are less likely to be confronted, so “buddy
up” for the walk home.
Never trust
your assailant. Criminals are cunning and can be extremely persuasive. Most
likely they will approach you in a friendly manner and appeal to your common
senses. No matter what they say or how convincing they are, never believe them.
Campus security is the best team for the job.
Never leave
the area. Your attacker needs to isolate you. In order to do that, they will
use force or any persuasive manoeuvre to convince you that going with them is
in your best interest. Don’t go, even when faced with an armed assailant. Put
as much space between you and them as fast as possible.
The Magpie Security Training Academy provides
quality personal protection and self-defence instruction training programs that
provide a maximum effect with a minimum of time invested. Contact Steve Drake on 0115 9866 000 to

Recently, The Harley Jae Trust organised a
networking event in the form of a family fun day at Newstead Abbey and children
and the families that have been supported by us were invited to the event.
Before the event, the Nottingham Paediatric
Critical Care Unit approached us, asking whether we could fund an event that
would give children with life limiting conditions and their families an
opportunity to meet families who are experiencing similar challenges.
We knew this event would be beneficial to all
parties involved, allowing children with several different difficulties
including epilepsy, long term ventilation, physical disabilities and
neurological impairments to meet each other and allow families to connect with
one another. The event was a great opportunity for families to share their
experiences and support each other.
The event, which was held in the grounds of
Newstead Abbey, offered a great day for the children and families including
crafts, games, activities and food. All of which were provided free of charge
to the families that attended. Also in attendance were twenty nurses that have
helped in supporting the children in the Paediatric Care Unit.
The family fun day was a huge success
and bonds were made that will last a lifetime thanks to the participation of
everyone involved. We would like to thank everybody who attended the event as
well as those who continually support and donate to the charity, which helps in
the funding of these events, allowing children with life limiting conditions
and their families to be able to make connections and continuously supported
through their experience. For More
