## Resource

When should kids walk home alone? There’s no legal age in the UK—it’s about your judgment, your child’s readiness, and school policy. Most experts suggest waiting until Year 5 (ages 9–10), especially if walking with friends, but some parents wait until Year 6. Safety matters most: short, familiar routes are safer than long, busy ones. Always prioritize your child’s maturity and your comfort level—fostering independence safely is key.
