Trick or Treating at Halloween

Not everyone enjoys trick or treaters knocking on their doors on Halloween. Kent Police have asked that your neighbours wishes should be respected if they have a sign up like this. they also offer the following advice:

If you have young children:
• Never let young children go trick or treating on their own.
• Make sure they only visit people known to your family.

If you have teenagers:
• Make sure they are not going to be using alcohol, flour or eggs.
• Make it clear that if a ‘no trick or treat’ sign is displayed, they should leave straightaway.
• Make sure they do not travel alone and never go into the home of someone they do not know.
• Make sure they understand they must not frighten people.
Display the front of this poster in a door or window if you would rather not be visited by Halloween callers.
