Halloween

Some people enjoy Halloween and some people don’t. This can be because they’ve had traumatic experiences in the past, they have sensory processing or neurological conditions or maybe just get frightened because they live alone or feel more vulnerable.

You can still have a good time whilst considering how your behaviour might affect others.

That means not scaring people you don’t know – even if it feels like a laugh, it might not be to them.

Going trick or treating? Follow our top tips:

Wear warm clothes and make sure you’re visible.
Tell an adult who looks after you where you’re going and when you’ll be home.
Take your fully charged mobile phone and stick with friends, don’t go alone.
Only trick or treat houses with decorations or pumpkins on display who might be expecting visitors.
No answer? No problem! Move on.
Only go inside the houses of family and good friends you know well.

Positive Action
