Serious accidents can cause injuries to children that take months or years to heal. The psychological damage caused to children and their families often lasts a lifetime. Yet many of clockthese accidents can be prevented by taking just a moment, to move a hot drink, check a smoke alarm, lock the medicine cabinet, switch off the dryer or take your foot off the accelerator.

That’s why the theme for 2010 is ‘make time for safety’. For parents and carers our key messages are:

  • a little time makes a BIG difference. The small things you do that take just a moment, like putting your painkillers out of reach after you use them, can mean your child stays safe from accidental harm
  • by taking a little time every day, safety habits become so automatic that busy parents can spend less time thinking about them
  • Pledge some time to protect your child from serious accidents

By making time for safety yourself during Child Safety Week and encouraging the parents and families you work with to make time for safety, you can help prevent serious accidents to children.
