🎃 Halloween Safety Message 🎃

With Halloween taking place this evening, here are some important messages to help everyone stay safe.

If you have teenagers going out, older children may want more independence, but it’s important they understand how to celebrate respectfully:

·  avoid knocking at homes without decorations or pumpkins outside

·  do not use alcohol or play a trick on someone using flour or eggs

·  if a ‘no trick or treat’ sign is displayed, they should move on without knocking

·  encourage them to stay in groups and never go into a stranger’s home

·  remind them that Halloween is meant to be fun, not frightening for others

Let’s work together to make Halloween safe, respectful, and enjoyable for everyone, whether they’re celebrating or not.
