Theme parks are busy, and children can disappear in seconds. A simple plan makes a big difference.
1Agree a meeting point
Choose a landmark in each park and tell children to stay where they are if they get lost.
2Prepare each morning
- Photograph what each child is wearing.
- Write your phone number on a wristband or in a pocket.
- Make sure older children know your name and number.
3Teach them who to ask
Staff in park uniforms are the best people to ask for help.
A meeting point agreed in advance beats any gadget.
4Know what to do if a child goes missing
- Stay calm and look nearby for a minute.
- Tell the nearest staff member immediately.
- Give a description and your phone number.
- Keep one adult at the meeting point.
