Are you in Inverness today? Cops from our Prevention & Interventions Team will be in The Eastgate Centre today from 10am to 1pm. Along with our NHS colleagues we will be raising awareness of the #ChooseToStop campaign which focuses on tackling domestic abuse.

With Halloween, Diwali and Bonfire Night all quickly approaching this is one of the most exciting times of the year. But it can also bring additional safety challenges. So, to help keep children safe this season we’ve got some free resources.

Let's remember to prevent wildfires.
Whether you're enjoying the outdoors, remember to be cautious with fire. Ensure campfires are extinguished, dispose of cigarette butts responsibly, and report any signs of smoke/fire.

A fire starting at night while you're asleep means less warning to escape. Your smoke alarms should wake you if a fire does break out but you can further reduce your risk by carrying out these simple checks before you go to bed

Please be mindful of your actions outdoors.
Don't leave litter lying around, bin responsibly and please pick up after others!

It’s easy for a cooking fire start. It only takes a minute.
Cooking is the number 1 cause of house fires in Scotland.
If you’re tired, you’ve been drinking alcohol or taking drugs, don’t cook. Prepare a cold snack instead.
