In this episode, we’ve compiled highlights from our November and early December shows!

Mel reflects on her powerful TED Talk about prioritizing prevention over reaction and educating young people with the safety messages they need. She explores how, while young people often receive robust safety advice, this guidance tends to taper off as we get older.

Tom shares festive Stay Safe tips in a countdown format, including a recap of last year’s advice and listeners’ new contributions for this holiday season.

Lastly, we discuss Anti-Social Behaviour Awareness Week, spotlighting the important work of The Children’s Society and their impactful campaign.
