Halloween is a great time of year, enjoyed by so many families. However it can be a busy holiday and with excitement running high and increased commotion it is worth taking a step back to ensure you are making it a safe Halloween for all your family.

Costumes & Outfits

Ensure purchased costumes and wigs are flame proof.

Reduce the risk of falls and trips, by ensuring your child's costume is cut to a suitable length.

If your child is venturing out in the evening, be aware of the temperature drop and ensure their costumes are going to be sufficient.

Trick or Treat

The safest way to trick or treat is to visit family and friends.

When trick or treating outside of your friends & family circle, ensure you map a route and where possible get a sensible adult to supervise the group.

Small children should not be allowed out unsupervised.

Elder children that are unsupervised should be given a set time for their return and where possible, should be collected as a group from a suitable meeting point.

Make sure your children understand not to go into strangers homes. Also point out they should not accept lifts or get into strangers cars.

Trick or treat in larger groups. Ensure all members of your party understand the rules you have set out for them.

When moving around the neighbourhood remind your children to be extra vigilant about traffic. Small neighbourhood roads can be dangerous areas for children not paying attention.

Explain the difference between vandalism and tricks! It is very easy for children to get caught up in the moment or respond to peer pressure. Think of your trick ideas before you set off!

Check your child's treats before they consume!

Pumpkins

Carving pumpkins is not suitable for small children. If you are worried and want to avoid disappointment, why not buy a prop pumpkin instead?

If using candles/ flames within your pumpkin ensure they are kept well away from hanging materials, never leave unattended and ensure children understand the dangers they carry.

Pets

With the increased flow of persons around your neighbourhood it is advisable to keep pets in on Halloween.

Make sure all lanterns and decorations are kept away from pets.

Trick or Treaters may result in you opening and closing your front door more than normal. If your pet is likely to be disturbed, keep them enclosed in one peaceful area.

As a general rule, pets don't enjoy being dressed up! It may seem cute but leave Halloween for you and your children.

Take care this Halloween, follow a few simple rules for your family's safety and have fun!
