The 31st of October is a day that some children look forward to, but some householders dread. Whilst trick-or-treating can be fun, there are important guidelines that children should follow for safety and courtesy reasons.

Tips for Children

  • If you go trick or treating, ensure you go with an adult
  • Do not talk to strangers
  • Do not knock on doors where there is a sign saying 'No Trick or Treat'
  • Do not enter any house, stay on the doorstep
  • Stay in well-lit areas and make sure you are visible
