Halloween Safety Advice |
||
|
Dear resident Advise to trick-or- treaters to go with an adult, stay in well-lit areas, respect "no trick or treat" signs, and only visit decorated houses with their porch light on. They also warn against vandalism, which can lead to charges for criminal damage. For residents, the advice is to display a "no trick or treat" sign if they wish to opt out and keep lights on if they welcome visitors. For trick-or-treaters Go with an adult: Children under 16 should always be supervised. Stay together: Do not split into smaller groups unless an adult is with them. Be visible: Go to well-lit areas, carry a torch, and make costumes reflective. Avoid masks that could frighten vulnerable people. Be respectful: Only visit homes that are clearly celebrating or have a porch light on. Respect "no trick or treat" signs. Don't cause damage: Avoid throwing eggs or flour, as this is considered criminal damage. Stay safe: Stay on the sidewalk, look carefully before crossing the road, and never enter a stranger's house. For residents Indicate participation: Keep your porch and outdoor lights on if you are happy to receive trick-or-treaters. Display a "No Trick or Treat" sign if you wish to opt out. Be mindful of others: Some people, especially the elderly, may find the night stressful. Consider checking in on vulnerable neighbors. Keep paths well-lit: This helps prevent accidents for visitors. Reporting issues For anti-social behaviour: Report it by calling the police non-emergency number, 101. For emergencies: If you feel threatened or a crime is in progress, dial 999.
