The office has a visitor ready for next weekend! I'm calling him Spidey.
In preparation we have found some useful resources:
https://www.ourwatch.org.uk/news/have-safe-halloween - this page has useful tips on staying safe and even a link to download a poster to display on your door if you would like Trick or Treater's to stay away. (I will put a separate link to this in the comments)
https://www.twinkl.co.uk/blog/keeping-children-safe-when-trick-or-treating-a-guide-for-parents this website has lots of useful tips and resources for children, including the origins and downloadable crafts!
I hope Spidey tidies up when I go home...
