Well, Halloween is upon us once more and we want you all to enjoy yourselves and be safe.

To anyone trick or treating tonight, please remember that behind doors that you go to knock on there could be a vulnerable person who may be too scared to answer the door.  This could be an older person, a domestic violence survivor worried that it may be the person responsible, someone with PTSD, dementia, or a person frightened of the outside world.

If someone has Halloween decorations up and a pumpkin on the doorstep then go ahead but leave the unlit, quiet houses alone.

Younger children will no doubt be accompanied by a parent or responsible adult.  No matter your age, stick to well lit routes, wear light coloured clothing with something reflective. take a torch or glow stick and be careful crossing the roads.  

Only accept sweet treats that are wrapped and take them home for parental approval.

BE SEEN - BE SAFE!!!

Happy Halloween.
