If you're trick-or-treating this year, remember these safety tips from Child Accident Prevention Trust ⬇️
🔥 Most costumes catch on fire easier than normal clothing, so make sure you check the labels for fire safety, as well as teach children what to do in case of fire.
🎃 Never leave candles and lit pumpkins unattended.
🍬 Hard candy and lollipops can be a choking hazard.
🔦 Remember road safety and make sure you're visible to drivers.

Are you getting all of the financial support that you are eligible for?

If you are struggling with the cost of living, you should check if you can claim benefits or increase your current benefits. You might be able to claim certain benefits even if you work, have savings or own a home. Claiming benefits also means you can get access to other financial help like cost of living payments and discounts on energy and transport.

Use a Benefits Calculator for a detailed check based on your personal situation. Access a Benefits Calculator here: https://www.gov.uk/benefits-calculators
