“KEEP YOUR LITTLE MONSTERS SAFE THIS HALLOWEEN,”SAYS AM
Carl Sargeant, AM for Alyn and Deeside, is highlighting top tips for staying safe this Halloween.
Mr Sargeant said: “Halloween can undoubtedly be a great deal of fun, but trick or treaters should abide strictly to some basic rules in order to have a safe and fun Halloween.”
Top tips to stay safe this Halloween:• Young children should always go trick-or-treating with an appropriate adult. • Plan your route and always let people know where you are. • If you are going out unsupervised, let your parents know where you are going and what time you will be home. Don’t take short cuts. • Never go into a stranger’s house. • Always carry a torch when you go out. • Do not approach houses with a ‘No trick or treating’ sign – they are there for a reason. • Ensure you have reflective tape on your costume. • Don’t trick strangers – consider how you would feel if it was your Grandparents that were afraid. • Throwing eggs at homes and property is classed as criminal damage – and police will deal with all incidents of anti-social behaviour accordingly.
Mr Sargeant added: “Please remember that Halloween can also be a frightening and distressing time for some of the more vulnerable members of our community – especially the elderly. With this in mind, trick or treaters should think carefully about which doors they knock on this Halloween. Better still, why not stay at home and have a Halloween themed party with your friends and neighbours?“As happens every Halloween, Safer Neighbourhoods teams will be patrolling to deter any incidents of anti-social behaviour and to deal swiftly and effectively with any incidents that do take place. “If you do decide to go trick or treating, please respect the wishes of any household displaying a 'No Trick or Treat' poster. It's there for a reason! If everyone follows this simple advice there is no reason why this Halloween cannot be both safe and fun.”
