CHILD SAFETY TIPS:
Kids love Caloundra Music Festival and often take off to explore something super exciting that’s caught their eye! Here are a few ideas to help us reunite you with your child should you become separated:
- Take a photo of your child as you enter the festival each day. This allows us to know exactly what they are wearing and ensures that you have a current photo!
- Make sure you have your mobile number written on your Childs’ wristband. This saves a lot of time trying to get your name from an upset little human!
- Either you or a known person should stay in the spot where you last saw your child. Generally kids will come wandering back looking for you!
- Arrange a meeting spot, somewhere that your child will remember and feel safe going to. (This may also be useful for significant others!)
- Report your missing child immediately to the closest security, police or at the Patron Services Tent.
