Parents’ section
We don’t want to ‘wrap children in cotton wool’. Scrapes and bruises are part of growing up. But we don’t think children should die, or be disabled or disfigured, in accidents that can be prevented. And even small changes – around your home or to your everyday routines – can make big differences to children’s safety.
Time Pledge for Child Safety Week
More children end up in hospital because they’ve been seriously hurt in an accident than any other cause. Many of these accidents can take just a moment to prevent.
We want everyone who cares about children to pledge some time on the Time Pledge and help stop the children you care about being hurt in a serious accident.
Here you can find:
Child safety advice by age group highlighting serious accidents at different ages and what you can do to prevent them.
Quizzes and competitions to test your knowledge
