Halloween can be a fun time and people can forget its also very important to follow certain common sense rules, in order to keep your child safe.

Tip 1 - Jack O' Lantern's

Never leave a lit Jack O' Lantern unattended. If you are using these in your home place them on a stable surface, at a sensible distance from anything flammable, and out of the reach of children.

Tip 2 - Trick or Treating

If your children are trick or treating, always know what streets they are going to go to. Always make sure at least one adult is supervising them, whilst they are out. Explain to your child that a trick should never damage property or be malicious.

Tip 3 - Costumes

Always make sure costumes are appropriate and do not contain anything toxic or sharp. If masks are being worn, make sure there are adequate breathing holes and also holes for vision that do not mean a child cannot see well.

Tip 4 - Use common sense

Everyone wants to enjoy the night, make sure that common sense is used and everyone will have a good time.
