Educate your domestic worker in crime prevention

Our nannies, housekeepers and gardeners are often left with the huge responsibility of caring for our homes and their expensive contents. As such it is important to educate them on what they can do to help protect themselves, our children and our things.

A few simple steps can make a big difference - take the time to discuss these with your domestic workers.

• Be aware of surroundings on your way to work and pay attention to strange vehicles or people
• Don't open the door or gate unless you are sure it safe to do so
• Don't let anyone onto the property unless your employer has said they're expecting them
• Avoid talking about the home you work in and the contents to avoid becoming a target
• Keep the doors and unbarred windows locked when you're alone at home
• Carry a panic button and know where there are panic buttons in the house
• Keep emergency numbers in your phone and next to the land line
