What if my teenager is going to a party?

• Consider talking to the host's parents – perhaps to find out if adults will be present and if there will be alcohol.
• Agree with your teenager what time they will be home and how they will do so safely.
• Consider dropping them off and picking them up.
• Be clear they can call you any time to be picked up.
• Make sure there are no recriminations that night, even if they have drunk too much alcohol, but wait until the next day to talk about it.
