Good Morning Folks
I hope you're well. My daughter recently started 6th form school, and she needs to catch 2 different buses in order to get to her new school. She has never caught a bus before, and with the dark and cold evenings coming soon, I am worried for her safety.
Is there anything that I can do in order to ensure she is ok? She already has a mobile phone which she can use any time to tell me if she needs any sort of help.
I am thinking of a personal safety alarm or something similar?
Thanks
Personal alarm is probably the cheapest solution. You could track her through her phone (as long as she agrees (something like the Life360 app, but there are others) which means you can keep an eye on her. And make sure she has your number on speed dial.
