🎃HAPPY HALLOWEEN!🎃 Going out this weekend? Look for venues with Licensing SAVI stars - they’ve taken steps to help you have a safer night out. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Find your nearest #LicensingSAVI venue at loom.ly/-S_v71o #SaferVenues #HalloweenSafety

🔥 Keep your venue spooky, but safe! Use battery candles or glowsticks instead of open flames, keep decorations away from exits and test your smoke alarms. Ensure all staff know emergency procedures. #FireSafety #LicensingSAVI #HalloweenSafety

📱 Keep your phone charged and stay in contact with your friends. A full battery could be a lifesaver in an emergency. #HalloweenSafety #StayConnected #LicensingSAVI

🚖 Display contact details for reputable taxi companies and guide customers to well-lit routes or nearby transport hubs. Plan ahead for safe and calm dispersal when everyone leaves at once. #VenueSafety #LicensingSAVI #HalloweenSafety

🧡 Go out with friends and look out for each other. Stick together, travel back safely and check in when you’re home. If you go home with someone new, make sure your friends know. #BuddySystem #HalloweenSafety #LicensingSAVI

🤝 Brief your staff on the ‘Ask for Angela’ scheme. If someone feels unsafe or vulnerable, they can discreetly ask for ‘Angela’ to get help, whether that means finding a friend, calling security or arranging a safe way home. #AskForAngela #SaferVenues #LicensingSAVI

🔥 Ditch the candles - use glowsticks or battery lanterns instead! If you’re at a party venue, locate the fire exits when you arrive so you’re prepared in case of an emergency. #FireSafety #HalloweenSafety #LicensingSAVI

👁️ Encourage staff to watch for signs of drink spiking or over-intoxication. Support anyone feeling unwell and display signage reminding customers not to leave drinks unattended. Make use of our FREE posters at loom.ly/V2ffRuQ #DrinkSpikingAwareness #LicensingSAVI

🙋 If you start to feel unwell or unsafe, ask for help from venue staff. Remember: In many venues, you can ‘Ask for Angela’ if you feel vulnerable. #AskForAngela #SaferVenues #HalloweenSafety #LicensingSAVI

🍻 Run sensible drinking promotions and ensure free water is available. Encouraging moderation keeps your customers - and your staff - safer. #DrinkResponsibly #LicensingSAVI #HalloweenSafety

👁️ Stay alert - keep an eye on those around you and be aware of what’s happening nearby. Awareness can make all the difference in keeping your night safer. #StreetSmart #HalloweenSafety #LicensingSAVI

🥤 Switch to polycarbonate or similar vessels and decant bottles to reduce injury risk. Encourage staff to clear empty glasses and rubbish quickly and store waste securely. #VenueSafety #LicensingSAVI #HalloweenSafety

👀 Watch your drink - always see it being made and don’t leave it unattended. Be cautious about accepting Halloween treats from strangers, especially if they’re unwrapped or homemade. #DrinkAware #HalloweenSafety #LicensingSAVI
