Halloween is just around the corner, and at Brighton Our World, we want to ensure that every child has a fun and safe trick-or-treating experience. Here are some helpful tips for families to keep in mind this Halloween: 1. Stay in Groups: Always trick-or-treat in groups and accompany young children. There’s safety in numbers, and it’s more fun too! 2. Plan Your Route: Choose a familiar route in well-lit areas. Avoid dark streets and unfamiliar neighborhoods. 3. Check Costumes: Make sure costumes are safe and comfortable. Use face paint instead of masks that can obstruct vision, and ensure costumes are short enough to prevent tripping. 4. Glow in the Dark: Equip your trick-or-treaters with glow sticks, reflective tape, or flashlights. Being visible is key to staying safe. 5. Inspect Treats: Always check candy and treats for tampering before children start snacking. Discard anything that looks suspicious. 6. Follow Traffic Rules: Use crosswalks and sidewalks. Remind children to look both ways before crossing the street and to be aware of their surroundings. 7. Respect Boundaries: Only visit homes with porch lights on, and never enter a stranger’s home or garage. With these tips, families can enjoy a safe and memorable Halloween. Have fun, stay safe, and don’t forget to share your costumes with us! #SafeHalloween #TrickOrTreating #BrightonOurWorld #HalloweenSafetyTips

It’s best to plan a route in advance, sticking to familiar, well-lit areas. Avoid shortcuts through parks, alleys, or unlit paths. Staying on main roads can help ensure better visibility and safety. Take a torch, make sure everyone in the group is carrying a torch or neon lights. These not only light the way but also make the group visible to motorists.
