Safeguarding: Record, Reassure and Report
Respond professionally, record useful factual details and report concerns to the operator and police, using 999 for an emergency and 101 otherwise.
Prepare from handbook duty to safe decision
Start with the current TfL instructions, learn each handbook responsibility in context and practise reading precise facts without inventing live assessment parameters.
