Have a happy and safe Halloween.

Go “trick or treating” with friends.

Tell your parents where you are going.

Keep in your own area.

Keep a safe distance from fireworks and bonfires.

You do not have to eat everything in one go.

Be kind to animals.

Be good to old people.

Do not accept lifts from strangers.
