Trick or treating is a fun pastime but it is not completely safe to allow your child out alone at night. Organise between a few friends to take the children out in a group in the early evening accompanied by an adult. This ensures that your child can still go trick or treating but also ensures their safety and your peace of mind.
Trick or treating is a fun pastime that children have been doing for many years and is something that only happens once a year. Unless the behaviour by the children amounts to harassment, then the police will not get involved.
COVID 19
Due to the coronavirus pandemic we would advise against trick or treating this year. Please see the Scottish Government website in Related Information for further advice.
