There may be times when you are in the house by yourself, so remember: These top tips can help you to keep safe in your house:

• Lock the door behind you and put the keys somewhere safe rather than leaving them in the door.
• If someone does knock on the door, ask who it is before opening it. Ask for identification cards from anyone claiming to be from a company.
• Don't tell anyone who phones or comes to the door that you are by yourself. If necessary, say that an adult is in the shower or asleep upstairs.
• Don't give your name or number when answering the phone.
• Keep emergency numbers handy, just in case you need them.
