Be safe - prevent falls for you and your children!

 

Falls are the most common cause of accidental injury to children. Find our how to keep babies and young children safe from falls.

 

* Use safety gates to stop toddlers climbing stairs or falling down them. Teach your child to start to climb stairs ( ...but never let them go up and down on their own).

 

* Keep low furniture away from windows and fit window locks and catches. Otherwise your toddler may have a fall. Board up any gaps in horizontal barrister rails, as they are easy for toddlers to climb up.

 

* Use a five point harness to stop your toddler falling from their high chair or pushchair.

 

* Don't use the top bunk of bunk beds for toddlers - use only for children over six years old.
