Police remind students to celebrate responsibly during results weeks
As students receive their A-level and GCSE results, officers are reminding them to celebrate their successes responsibly.
Students are being asked to consider the following when celebrating:
- Remember to do so responsibly, thinking of others around you, such as neighbours, the elderly and young children
- If attending a party, know your limits
- Make sure your celebratory behaviour doesn’t descend into anti-social behaviour
- If out and about, plan your journey home and consider arranging a lift with friends if you are unfit to drive
- Make sure your phone has enough battery to make calls or send messages
Chief Superintendent Julie Howe, of Dorset Police, said: “We know that results day is a culmination of several years of hard work and dedication to achieving the best outcomes for the young people of our county and they deserve to celebrate their successes.
“However, previous years have shown that the A-level and GCSE results days are some of the busiest days of the summer for policing demand.
“Therefore, we ask for our young people to please enjoy themselves and their achievements responsibly without the need for police to intervene.”
