Half term and Halloween
It’s October which means two things; half-term and Halloween.
Halloween has long given concern to parents as well as the general public. Largely this has been due to anti-social behaviour, social disorder linked to trick or treating, house party overspills, late opening hours in the nightlife sector and so on.
There are risks lurking for children and young people. These secondary dangers including unsafe costume design, and the low nocturnal visibility of participants have been addressed in a recent article from the Child Accident Prevention Trust.
