Let's Keep Halloween and Bonfire Night Fun For All: Tips to Discourage Antisocial Behaviour

Halloween and Bonfire Night is right around the corner, and should be fun for everyone, but antisocial behaviour can ruin celebrations and put people at risk.

Parents and carers – help keep your kids safe:

- If your child is heading out in the evening, drop them off and pick them up if you can. It’s a simple way to keep them safe and know where they are.

- Talk to your child about the dangers of fireworks, bonfires, and hoax calls.- Remind them that antisocial behaviour can lead to serious consequences – including injury, criminal records, or harming others.

- Encourage positive alternatives: attend organised firework displays or community events.

If you see antisocial behaviour:

Call 999 in an emergency or if someone is in danger.

For non-emergencies, report it via 101 or via our website.
