You can play an important part in helping to get the messages out about preventing accidents. No matter how big or small your event or activity the first question is always the same:

What do I want to achieve?

Take a few minutes at the start of your planning to focus on what you want to achieve and what is realistic.

WHO? – do you want to reach with your Safer, Together message?

WHAT? – do you want the children or families you work with to do differently?

WHERE? – can you use existing groups, events or meetings? Do you need to book a venue? Try to keep it simple to start with and use what you already have access to.

WHEN? – are you most likely to capture the audience you want? Use the week to kick start activity and think about how you can keep things going over the longer term.

WHY? – is your involvement in Child Safety Week so vital? Read on to find out how the simple things you do can prevent serious accidents.

HOW? – it doesn’t have to take lots of time and money to make a difference.
