🎃👻 Halloween Safety (Without Spoiling the Fun!) 👻🎃
It’s that time of year again — the kids are ready to turn into sugar-fuelled goblins, and parents everywhere are wondering how many times they’ll hear “just one more house!”
Before you set off trick-or-treating, here are a few frightfully useful safety tips from your friendly local first aid team:
🕯️ Light it up – Torches, glow sticks and reflective bits keep little monsters visible to drivers.
😷 See and breathe – Check that masks don’t block vision or make it hard to breathe (save the dramatic gasps for the scares!).
🍬 Sweet sense – Keep an eye out for allergies and choking hazards. Not all sweets are created equal.
🚗 No haunting on the roads – Stick to pavements and use crossings; zombies belong on the paths, not the roads.
🧛 Know your scares – If the screams aren’t from excitement and there’s a real emergency, knowing some first aid can make all the difference.
We wrote a short piece on keeping children safe at Halloween a while back 👉 https://www.whitecrosstraining.co.uk/halloween-safety-how-to-avoid-hazards-including-choking/
Stay safe, have fun, and don’t forget to share your best spooky costumes below!
We promise not to perform CPR on any fake skeletons this year 🩹💀
