Halloween is a busy time for all the emergency services
We want you to stay safe when trick or treating by following the ‘Halloween Code’:
- Always go trick and treating with an adult
- Only go to houses where you or your friends know the residents
- Don’t knock on doors where there is a no trick or treat sign
- Stay in areas that are well lit with street lights – take a torch just incase
- Stay with your friends – don’t split into smaller groups
- Don’t talk to strangers on the street
- Don’t enter any house – always stay on the door step
- Be careful not to frighten vulnerable people – especially the elderly
- Be visable
- Look carefully before crossing the road, even if you’re part of a group
- Don’t vandalise anything or throw things like eggs and flour. This can cause a great deal of damage and misery. What’s more it can be classed as criminal damage, or even assault, and a night of ‘fun’ could end up with you in trouble with the police
