HALLOWEEN SAFETY ADVICE

Trick or treating advice

We want you to enjoy Halloween, but remember, not everyone wants to take part!

Here's a few things to remember when you're out this Halloween.

• If you’re going trick or treating, make sure you go with an adult and your parent or carer knows where you’re going and when to expect you back.
• Don’t knock if there’s a sign saying ‘No trick or treat here.’ 
• Be careful not to frighten elderly or vulnerable people.
• Don’t go trick or treating alone - stay with your group.
• Only visit areas where there are streetlights. Avoid taking shortcuts through gardens, alleyways or parks.
• Don’t throw eggs and flour. This is a form of anti-social behaviour, which will not be tolerated.
• Be careful crossing roads in the dark. We would recommend wearing a bright costume or having a reflective strip on it. If part of the costume includes a mask, make sure you can see through it.

Have a great time, stay safe and look out for each other. If you or someone you know is in danger call 999.
