Guidance for young people

  • Don’t disturb someone displaying a notice that says ‘no trick or treat’.
  • Always take an adult with you or tell an adult where you are going.
  • Never go out on your own – always go out with family, friends, or a responsible adult.
  • Never knock on a stranger’s door.
  • Never accept an invitation to go into a house.
  • If someone says ‘no thank you’ or doesn’t open the door to you, they are probably frightened. Please walk away and don’t be a nuisance to them.
  • Avoid dark and lonely places.
