Look after each other

Safety guide

Simple guidance for families walking the trail and households handing out treats in Huntingdale.

This is a community, house-based activity — not a closed venue. Parents and carers remain responsible for children at all times.

For families & kids

Supervise younger children — stay together, especially near roads and driveways.
Use footpaths and crossings where available; make eye contact with drivers before crossing.
Carry a light — torch or phone light helps on darker streets.
Costumes — choose outfits you can walk and see in safely; avoid long trailing fabric near candles or steps.
Only visit houses that welcome trick-or-treaters — look for map listings, decorations, or a clear “open” vibe. If unsure, skip it.
Stay outside — do not enter homes or backyards.
Allergies — check labels when possible; carry any medication your child needs.
Plan a route — use the map, set a finish time, and tell someone where you’re walking.

Light your entrance so visitors can see steps and paths.
Clear trip hazards on the path to your door for the evening.
Stay visible — be present when handing out treats.
Respect quiet neighbours — keep music and noise reasonable.
Set clear hours on your registration so families know when you’re open.
Allergen awareness — if you can, offer a simple non-food option or note common allergens.
Pets — keep dogs secure so they don’t startle visitors at the door.

Registering on the map helps families find houses that want visitors — and reduces random door-knocking on homes that prefer a quiet night.

Expect more foot traffic than usual — drive slowly in residential streets.
Park legally; don’t block driveways or footpaths.
In an emergency call 000.
For non-urgent police attendance in WA, use the appropriate local non-emergency channels.

Only share photos of your own family/pet unless you have permission.
