Staying Safe on Darker Nights

As Halloween and Bonfire Night approaches, West Midlands Police would like to encourage you to talk to your child about staying safe and sensible during this time.

Remember…

• Stay visible at night by wearing fluorescent clothing or head torches
• Supervise children with sparklers and at firework displays
• Warn your children about stranger danger and only trick or treating in well-lit, known areas
• It is illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to possess a firework, flare or smoke bomb.
