The Forge Shopping Centre is a child safe shopping centre and as part of our family facilities, we offer a hotline number to assist parents and guardians in finding children who have been separated from them whilst out shopping.
If you lose a child whilst shopping
- Stay close to where you last saw the child
- Speak directly to our Security team who will help you
- Phone our helpline to report your missing child 0141 556 1172
Teach your child to do the following, if they get lost
- Stop, stand still and look, don’t run about
- If they see the person they were with, go to them and hold their hand
- If lost in a shop, go to the nearest till point and talk to the shop staff (Most shop assistants will wear uniforms or name badges)
- Do not go up to anyone else and do not leave the shopping centre with a stranger!
The best way to help a lost child
- Encourage children to stay close to you
- Use reins or wrist links
- Don’t leave them in an unsupervised play area
- Carry an up to date photograph of your child
- Take note of what your child is wearing
The child safe scheme is in operation to tackle the frightening moment when a child runs of in a crowd. The scheme ensures that should your youngster wander off or become lost are easily and quickly reunited with their parent or guardian.
