By calling the dedicated Child Safe number 0844 619 1202 parents will be put in contact with security team, who will use a coordinated approach and CCTV to re-unite them. The scheme will launch on Monday (December 4). The initiative also provides children with free wristbands for parents’ or guardians’ contact numbers so that, in the event of a child being lost, the parent or guardian can be contacted quickly. The wristbands will be available from the Customer Information Desk.

Richard Manville, Director and co-founder of Child Safe said “We are thrilled to launch the Child Safe scheme in Queensgate, Peterborough, who have been very supportive in coordinating the scheme”.
