ROAD Car seats: It’s safer for kids to use a child restraint until they are 148cm tall.

For kids 0-14 years, one of the leading causes of injury involves children as passengers in motor vehicles, with about 18 fatalities a year and the equivalent of one classroom-full (26) of children admitted to hospital every month.

Studies show that child restraints can significantly reduce the risk of hospitalisation and critical injury when used correctly.

Car safety messages: • Always use the correct child restraint an booster seat for your child’s height, weight and age • Follow manufacturers’ instructions forsizing and installation of your child restraint • Remember all child car seats being used in New Zealand must meet the accepted Safety Standards • Make sure your child restraint or booster seat correctly fits your vehicle • Get help installing your child restraint or booster Contact a NZTA-certified child restrain technician for support and to get help to correctly install a child restraint • The back seat is safest for kids.

Child pedestrians: More than 5,000 pedestrians are fatally injured on the world’s roads each week.

Many of those killed are children walking to and from schools.

In New Zealand, child pedestrian injuries are a leading cause of traffic related child deaths.

How to cross the road safely: • Heads up and devices down when crossing the road • Watch out for sneaky driveways • Use pedestrian crossings and controlled intersections • Have a school travel plan, or join a ‘walking school bus’ when travelling to school.

Driveway accidents: • 5 children are fatally injured each year in NZ driveways • Over 20 children a year, or one a fortnight, are admitted to Starship Hospital

• Most children injured are toddlers, aged two years. walk around the car, and make sure children are in a safe place and supervised by an adult

Signs of a risky driveway:

However: cycling related injuries are one of the top ten causes of unintentional injury related fatalities for children in New Zealand.

• A long driveway • A driveway in a quiet road or cul-de-sac • A driveway that also provides pedestrian access to the house (no separate pedestrian pathway) • A driveway leading to lots of parking – cars need to be moved around to make room or allow vehicles to leave • No physical barrier (i.e. fence) between driveway and outdoor play area.

Cycling and bike helmets:

Be Smart - plan safe cycle routes with an adult, the best riders are skilled riders Be Safe – no helmet, no bike Be Seen – wear bright colours and use reflective gear.

Learning to ride a bicycle is an important part of their play and development.

Learn the 2-4-1 rule on how to wear a helmet correctly: 2: The helmet should be no more than two fingers above your eyebrow

Always wear a helmet when cycling.

Cycling is an important form of exercise, transportation and recreation for children in New Zealand, and for many children, learning to ride a bicycle is an important part of their play and development.

4: Adjust the straps under your ears.

They should form two ‘Vs’ 1: No more than one finger should fit under the chin strap.

Scooters & skateboards - Be Safe2Scooter Wearing a helmet on your scooter and skateboard can stop your brain getting badly hurt if you fall off.

So: follow the steps on how to wear your helmet correctly.

Kick scooters and skateboards provide children with a valuable form of exercise and transport. Learning to ride a skateboard or scooter can be an important part of play, risk taking and development.

The rise in popularity of, and subsequent exposure to, skateboarding and scooting has been coupled with a marked increase in skateboard and scooter related injuries, with over 140 children hospitalised with skateboard related injuries every year.

Over 30 children are hospitalised with scooter related injuries every year.

How to be safe on scooters and skateboards: • Wear correctly fitted helmets that meet an approved safety standard • Ride on the footpath, and watch out for sneaky driveways • Give way to pedestrians • Cross roads safely on foot, at pedestrian crossings • Wear elbow and knee pads when scootering, and add wrist guards when skateboarding.

How a correctly fitted helmet should look: 1. Check that your ears sit in the middle of the V shape of the straps 2. Make sure that the front of the helmet sits two fingers width above your eyebrows 3. Check that when the chin strap is done up, that just one finger can fit between your chin and the strap.

HOME SAFETY Button Batteries

• Kids under 6 years old represent the greatest risk.

• 20 children are taken to the Starship each year as a result of swallowing batteries • It takes as little as 2 hours for a button battery to cause a severe burn injury in the oesophagus.

Prevention: Search, Secure and Share

Many coin-sized button batteries can appear “invisible” to parents because devices come with the batteries already installed.

To keep your children safe:

Poisoning

Poisoning is the third most common cause of injury-related hospital admissions for children aged 0–4 years.

Most of these injuries happen in the home.

Cleaner or chemical poisonings occurred most frequently in 1 and 2 year olds, and poisonings from drugs and medications are spread across the under 5 age group.

Over 300 children are admitted to hospital each year because of an unintentional poisoning.

Some 83 percent of all children hospitalised are 0-4 years old. And 81 percent of all childhood poisonings occur in the home.

SEARCH: Your home, and any place your child goes, for gadgets

that may contain button batteries SECURE: Button battery-controlled devices out of sight and reach of children, and keep

loose batteries locked away SHARE: This life-saving information with caregivers, friends, family and whanau.

In an emergency: Get help fast

Keeping these batteries locked away and secured in devices is key, but if a coin-sized button battery is swallowed, you should follow these steps: • Go to the nearest hospital emergency department immediately • Tell doctors and nurses that it might be a coin-sized button battery. If possible, provide the medical team with the identification number found on the battery’s pack • Do not let the child eat or drink until an X-ray can determine if a battery is present • Do not induce vomiting.

Cutting & Piercings

Be sharp: Prevent cutting and piercing injuries in and around the home. Cutting and piercing injuries are a common cause of injury for children, with over 550 children hospitalised every year from a serious cut or puncture injury. This injury is the 2nd leading cause of hospitalisation for 5-9 year olds. $11.7M per year is the total in ACC payments to families for treatment of this injury.

Ways to keep your child safe at home • Use safety glass in furniture, windows and doors • Spot and remove sharp and pointed objects at home and in play areas.

Make your home a safety zone! Our homes are where injuries most commonly happen, and children under five year’s of age are particularly more at risk.

• Some 48 children are killed each year - and 231 are hospitalised every month • Sixty percent of all injuries to under-fives happen IN THE HOME • Fifty percent of these injuries are linked to structural issues in the home.

We are Auckland based with over 15 years of experience.

FIRE SAFETY

Checking your smoke alarms

Your alarms will start to beep regularly if the battery is low.

Replace all smoke alarm batteries at least once a year.

Burns

Always keep hot drinks out of the reach of children.

Burns are a leading cause of injury for young children. Of 1 to 2 year olds admitted to hospital due to severe burns, over half are caused by spilt hot drinks (tea and coffee) and other liquids. Burn injuries from fires occur less frequently, but are responsible for a higher number of fatalities than burns from hot substances.

Hot water burns & fire injuries in NZ

More than 5 children are burned severely enough to be admitted to hospital each week.

Around 5 children die each year. More than half of 1 to 2 year old kids are hospitalised for hot water burns.

First Aid

• Run water from the cold tap gently over the burn for 20 minutes or until an ambulance arrives. For patients vulnerable to hypothermia (babies or elderly), luke warm water is OK • Do not touch the burn or burst any blisters, as this can cause infection • Once cooled, remove clothing from the burned area If clothing sticks, cut around the fabric • Cover the burn with clean non-fluffy material (e.g. a sheet or loosely cover with plastic wrap) to prevent infection • Do not cover the face • Seek advice from your doctor or hospital • In an emergency call 111.

The alarms will also need to be replaced after a while.

Once a month, check the battery by pressing the test button. Dust and debris can stop alarms from working properly, so vacuum over and around your smoke alarms regularly.

Choosing your smoke alarm

Fire Safe NZ recommends you to install a long-life photoelectric smoke alarm in your home, as they provide up to 10 year’s smoke detection without having to replace batteries.

However, still regularly check they’re working correctly.

Installing smoke alarms Diagram of where you should install your smoke alarms. In your kitchen, bathroom or laundry, use a heat alarm instead.

Burns from hot substances

• Never consume hot drinks or soup while holding a child.

• During bath time, always run the cold water first.

• Set your hot water temperature to 50-55° Celsius at the tap.

Fire & Flame

Clothing burns, so please make sure your kids are always a metre away from the heater.

Talking to your children about fire safety It’s a good idea to talk to your children about fire safety, how to avoid starting fires, and what to do if there’s a fire in your home.

Children as young as five can learn what to do in a fire emergency. This is lifelong learning that they will take into adulthood. Children also need to understand that fire can be dangerous.

Talking about fire When talking about fire, children might ask about risks associated with fire emergencies. You should provide truthful answers without making the child afraid.

You can tell your child about firefighters and how they rescue people in fires. However, because firefighters might not arrive in time, teach your child how to get out safely.

It’s so important to have smoke alarms and an escape plan to know what to do in a fire. Remember: Get out, stay out.

Talking about what to do in an emergency.

If a fire starts in a room, a person has about three minutes to get out before the room is engulfed in smoke or flames.

Teach your children to get out and stay out if there’s a fire. If they see a fire or hear a smoke alarm, tell them to: • Get out of the house FAST (using your escape plan) • Shout: “FIRE, FIRE, FIRE!” Go to the safe meeting place

ESCAPE Remember...

Get Out! & Stay Out!

In a fire, you’ll probably be scared.

Toxic smoke might make it hard to breathe and see clearly.

You will only have 1 or 2 minutes from the sounding of the smoke alarm to when your life is seriously threatened by fire or smoke. That’s why it’s essential to have an escape plan in place, to practice it regularly, and to know how to get to safety quickly.

plan

Check there is a safe way to reach the ground from upper floors.

If you have small children, sit down with a pen and paper and actually make a map of your home.

Have them draw escape plans from the bedroom and memorise the quickest way out of the house.

Making an escape plan Start by getting together everyone who lives in your house. Go outside and find a safe spot, away from the house, which can be your SAFE meeting place. This is where everyone will gather in the event of a fire. A landmark like a letterbox or special tree is best. Identify a primary escape route out of every room. Then pick a secondary route in case the first is blocked by fire.

Everyone who lives in the property needs to understand the Escape Plan and practise escaping from each room in the house by the two exits. Most fires start in kitchens (1 in 4), bedrooms (1 in 8), and lounges and family rooms (1 in 6). Make sure your family practises escaping from these rooms every 3 – 6 months.

Remember test smoketo detectors each month !

1. Have working smoke alarms.

2. Keep keys in deadlocks at all times when home.

Stay dog safe

Dog Safety

When walking to school, your child may come across a loose dog – here are some tips you can teach them to stay dog safe.

Quiet and slow – it’s the way to go!

If you are scared of a dog, move quietly and slowly away from it. Don’t run. It is better to walk away quietly and slowly. Don’t stare at the dog as you move away.

If you stare, a dog might think you want to fight.

And remember, if you own a dog, make sure it is tied up or behind a fence in the morning and afternoon when children will be out walking to and from school.

If you see a dog roaming loose on the street, or encounter a dangerous dog, please report it as soon as possible to allow the animal control officers an opportunity to catch the dog while it is still roaming.

Do not run around or shout near a dog.

Dogs react to the way we behave.

If you shout or run, a dog might chase or attack you.

Bullying Bullying behaviour

Bullying behaviour is complex. It can take many forms, including physical, verbal or social bullying.

It can take place in the physical or online world, and causes damage and harm. Verbal and social bullying can be as harmful as physical bullying.

What can I do if I see someone being bullied?

Someone who sees or knows that bullying is happening is a ‘bystander’.

Bystanders can encourage bullying by doing nothing.

What can I do if I’m being bullied?

Bullying feels awful and it’s important to remember it’s not your fault.

BULLYING BEHAVIOR 1. Physical, such as stand over

behaviour, holding or hitting a person.

2. Verbal, such as threats,

discriminatory remarks, name calling, emails, texts, anonymous comments or postings online.

3. Social, such as spreading rumours or personal information, excluding from groups or activities, posting negative material online, defacing a webpage or profile page.

Tell the person who is bullying you to stop!! (if you feel that you can). Or just walk away.

Tell someone you trust like a parent, teacher, family member or school counsellor. Keep telling adults until someone does something to stop it.

Help stop bullying by: 1. Stepping in if you feel you can safely

– for example, saying “leave them alone – that’s mean”.

2. Talking about the bullying with another bystander so you have support.

3. Talking to the person being bullied

– ask if they are ok or how you can help.

4. Telling an adult you trust about the bullying.

Spend time with friends who help you feel good about yourself.

Don’t reply to any messages that make you feel sad, threatened or embarrassed. Often people who bully others are just looking for a reaction.

• Keep all messages and take photos of uncomfortable posts • Make a note of the time, date and content. This is evidence you might need if the problem gets worse.

Online Safety

for parents

So, how do you get started?

Check out our things to think about below.

Online safety for parents is more important than ever. 1. Set expectations As young people begin to spend more time online, it’s important that parents start to teach them how to stay safe!

2. Understand what they do online Talk to your child about the type of behaviours you’d like them to

adopt. For example, how long they should spend online, what apps and social media sites you’d like them to use and what is appropriate content to view.

This will be different depending on the age of your child, and what you feel comfortable with. Options like parental controls can help, but it needs to be teamed with online safety education.

Talk to your kids about what they’re using the internet for.

What’s involved? Who’s in their network? What information do they share? Are they using the internet to learn to communicate and create friendships with others, or to create music or videos?

Showing an interest in the things they do helps to build your understanding of what their online world looks like, and creates an environment that makes it easier to have more difficult conversations about it the future.

Water Safety

Swimming pools Swimming pools are part of life for many New Zealanders. They provide wonderful opportunities for families and friends to gather together and have fun.

Always supervise your children near water!

Unfortunately, pools are also dangerous places where many injuries and drownings occur each year.

Our country’s drowning toll is one of the highest inthe developed world and drowning is the second highest cause of accidental death for pre-school children.

The most common causes of injuries include slips, trips and falls, often resulting in fractures, dental injuries, sprains and strains.

All it takes is a single moment’s inattention: The time it takes to: • Make or answer a short phone call • Have a quick scan through the TV programmes in the newspaper • Make a cup of tea.

The only safe pool environment is one where children cannot gain access to a pool without adult supervision, that’s why all swimming pools need to be fenced.

Do you know

Your Signs?

How to stay safe when walking • Use pedestrian crossings or cross at traffic signals • Stop and check at every driveway • Walk on the footpath, close to the houses and away from the road • Hold hands if walking with a young child near roads or in carparks.

Crossing the road

When there’s no pedestrian crossing • Be patient and cross the road only when it’s safe to do so (it takes time for a vehicle to stop)

Then use the kerb drill: 1. Stop one step back from the kerb.

2. Look and listen for traffic coming from all directions.

3. If there is traffic coming, wait until it has passed and then look and listen for traffic again.

4. If there is no traffic coming, walk quickly straight across the road.

5. While crossing, look and listen for traffic, wherever it may come from.

When using a pedestrian crossing

• Use official crossings where possible – in fact, if you’re within 20 metres of a pedestrian crossing, the law requires you to use it • Check that approaching vehicles have seen you and can stop before you step out • Cross as quickly as you are able • For crossings with signals, only cross when the green person or message shows.

Watch out for courtesy crossings

A courtesy crossing may be made of other materials like bricks or pavers.

4.

7.

Use these crossings with care because cars don’t have to stop for pedestrians at courtesy crossings.

Crossing at intersections Choose a place where you can see, and be seen by, traffic from all directions.

Walking where there are no footpaths • Walk facing the oncoming traffic • Keep as far off the road as possible • Walk in single file – if in a group, the shortest child should be at the front and tallest at the back so everyone can see.

Crossing between parked cars Crossing between parked cars should be your last option. It is safer to walk a little further to get to a clear stretch of road.

If you do cross between parked cars: • Stop on the footpath and look carefully for a gap between two parked vehicles which don’t show signs that they might move off (eg they don’t have drivers, exhaust fumes, engine noises, lights) • If you can’t see inside either vehicle choose another gap • Make sure you have a safe place to go on the other side of the road (eg a place that is not blocked by a driveway or parked vehicles) • Walk to the outside (headlight) corner of the parked vehicle and stop where you can see the traffic, and drivers can see you before you cross.

As a way to get around, walking is an easy, healthy and safe way to travel. There are a number of tips you can follow to keep it that way.

Playground

safety tips

Actively supervise children on playgrounds and look for hazards, such as rusted or broken equipment and dangerous surfaces.

Teach children that pushing, shoving or crowding while on the playground can be dangerous.

Dress appropriately for the playground.

Remove necklaces, purses, scarves or clothing with drawstrings that can get caught on equipment and pose a strangulation hazard. Even helmets can be dangerous on a playground, so save those for bikes.

Little kids can play differently than big kids.

Ensure that children use age-appropriate playground equipment.

“WHERE EXCELLENCE IS HABIT”

Ensure safe surfacing beneath and surrounding playground equipment • Avoid playgrounds with non-impact absorbing surfaces, such as asphalt, concrete, grass, dirt or gravel • Recommended surface materials include: sand, pea gravel, wood chips, mulch and shredded rubber.

Rubber mats, synthetic turf and other artificial materials are also safe surfaces.

PUBLIC SWIMMING

POOLS

Public swimming pools are not cheap baby-sitting venues.

Always supervise your child and whenever possible be in the water with your child.

It is essential to have buoyancy bags or blocks fitted to make sure your kayak stays level so it can be re-boarded.

• Always wear a buoyancy-vest or life jacket designed for kayaking; make sure you do not become separated from your kayak following a capsize.

Kayaks These fun boats are common in lakes, rivers and around the coast.

Used properly, they are very safe, but their limitations need to be understood.

When kayaking in areas used by other craft, make sure you will be seen.

Information provided courtesy of Water Safety New Zealand. www.watersafety.org.nz

A kayak can be almost invisible to skippers of other craft.

Wearing bright clothing, having brightly coloured paddle blades with reflector strips, and displaying a very bright orange or red flag about a metre above the water on a rod will greatly reduce the chance of being run down accidentally.

Only experienced, fit paddlers should use a kayak in rough water, as kayaks can easily capsize.

WATER SAF

Every parent

Keeping Kids Safe Life Jackets for Kids - Make Sure You Are Seen When learning to swim kids need constant supervision around water.

Whether the water is in a bathtub, a wading pool, an ornamental fish pond, a swimming pool, a spa, the beach, or a lake.

Young children are especially at risk — they can drown in less than 2 inches (6 centimeters) of water. That means drowning can happen where you’d least expect it — the sink, the toilet bowl, fountains, buckets, inflatable pools, or small bodies of standing water around your home, such as ditches filled with rainwater.

Always watch children closely when they’re in or near any water.

If you’re not a swimmer yourself, it’s a good idea to take lessons and learn how to swim, and kids over 4 years old should learn to (check the local recreation center for classes taught by qualified instructors). Kids who are younger (but older than age 1) also might benefit from swimming lessons, but check with your doctor first.

Life Jackets for Kids How much value do you put on your kids’ lives When it comes to messing about in boats, there is always a danger of getting into serious trouble. Make sure your child has a life jacket, as it could just about be the best present they get this summer.

In choosing any life jacket there should be enough buoyancy to float your child with their head and shoulders out of the water. It must not have a tendency to turn and hold your child in a face - down position. Because children vary in their shape, they can be thin, short or tall and yet still weigh the same, it is vital to spend time trying on different brands and types. The garment must suit the activity the child will be doing and, above all, it must be comfortable.

There are several key points when purchasing a life jacket for a child.

It must be a good fit and be the correct size for their body weight. It is critical when buying a life jacket, be it a full life jacket, buoyancy vest or inflatable jacket, that you never buy one that your child will grow into.

It must fit NOW! Information provided courtesy of Water Safety New Zealand. www.watersafety.org.nz

ETY TIPS

should know!

At the beach Understanding the ocean is very important the more you know about how waves, wind and tides affect conditions in the water, the better able you are to keep yourself safe, or others, from danger.

Swim between the flags

Make Sure You Are Seen Get the right life jackets Fastenings should be durable, with zips made of plastic and not metal. Colour choice is also something to consider as bright contrasting colours aid location during a rescue. The most effective colours are RED, ORANGE and YELLOW. Comfort is an important consideration, because if the jacket isn’t comfortable the child will not want to wear it. If it fits snugly, then you might find yourself reminding your child to take it off as they walk away up the beach from the boat.

It should also be easy to get on and off and allow freedom of movement both in and out of the water.

Choosing the right life jacket for your child is important, so make the right choice and not one that you may live to regret!

Surf Life Saving New Zealand patrol over 80 of our busiest beaches each summer. Always swim between the red and yellow patrol flags, as they identify the safest area to swim when an active lifesaving patrol is on the beach.

Rip currents A rip is a strong current of water running out to sea.

They can be very dangerous to swimmers as they can sweep you out to sea quickly and easily.

Rip currents can be hard to identify, look for these features: • Discoloured or murky brown water caused by sand stirred up off the bottom • A smoother surface with much smaller waves, with waves breaking on either side • Debris floating out to sea • A rippled look, when the water around is generally calm.

If you get caught in a rip: • Don’t panic • Don’t try to swim against the rip back to shore • Let the rip carry you out until the current subsides • Then swim parallel to the beach for 30-40 metres before swimming back to shore • If you get tired or become frightened, stay calm, raise your arm, call for help and wait for assistance.

Rail Safety

Rail safety tips Stay away from overhead wires carrying electrical energy. The electrical energy that moves trains is always dangerous and always on.

You cannot hear, see or smell electrical energy.

The electrical energy is 100 times more powerful than the electrical energy used at home. The electrical energy can jump gaps of up to three metres.

When electrical energy passes through people, it seriously injures them or worse.

Always use level crossings to get across the tracks Trains on the tracks are very big, very fast and very quiet. Trains take a long time to stop. It is dangerous to take shortcuts and trespass.

Watch out for the second train Obey all warning signs and signals. Wait until all warning signs have stopped before crossing – there may be a second train. Look and listen in both directions.

Platforms and stations Not all trains stop at ALL stations. Some express trains and freight trains may travel through at high speed without stopping. Always expect a train on a platform and stand at least 1.5 metres away from the platforms edge.

Fast trains can create a vacuum called a ‘back draft’ that can blow you over or suck you under a train. Under no circumstances should you ever sit on the edge of a platform.

Platform safety Train stations and platforms can pose safety risks if you do not follow some simple safety guidelines.

• Always stand well behind the yellow line on the platform and do not walk over the line until the train has come to a complete stop • Be careful of the gap between the platform and the train – and take particular care to step well clear of the gap as you board the train • All platforms are different and the size of the gap may vary from station to station • Let passengers who are disembarking clear the area completely before boarding the train.

Anything with wheels has the potential to be dangerous on a train platform: • Never use skateboards, scooters or bikes on a train platform, and always turn wheels so they are at right angles to the tracks • Always walk and don’t run on a train platform to avoid tripping and potentially falling onto the tracks.

What is a walking school bus?

A walking school bus is just like a school bus, except children walk to and from primary school under the supervision of adult volunteers (often parents), who act as the walking school bus driver.

Children are dropped off at the school gate, and along the way they learn how to safely negotiate the road, as well as socialise with friends and neighbours, improve fitness and arrive energised at school ready to learn.

Routes vary in length; they are usually about 1.5 km – or a 30-minute walk - but they can be longer or shorter.

Start times and locations depend on the length of your route, and school start and finish times.

A walking school bus can operate all five days of the school week, or as little as one day per week.

It can operate in the morning, after school, or both.

It all depends on the availability of adult volunteers and what works best for your team of bus drivers.

Keep kids off quad bikes

Quad bike injuries are one of the main issues faced by rural kids. Quad bikes of all sizes are powerful and heavy machines with a high centre of gravity. Children do not have the body size, weight, perception and co-ordination skills to actively ride these large machines.

Below are recommendations to safeguard the transport of rural children: That legislation is developed to prohibit children under the age of 16 years from operating an adultsized quad bike (engine capacity > 90cc).

That children are prohibited from being passengers on all quad bikes which have been designed for one person only.

Child quad bike injuries in NZ – the numbers: • 30 children are fatally injured or hospitalised with serious injuries every year • In more than half of quad bike injury cases, a child was the driver • Manufacturer recommendations prohibit the use of adult-size quad bikes for under 16 year olds.

Falls Falls Ruin The Fun Keep an eye on your kids to help them play safe.

While childhood fall related injuries are often viewed as ‘part’ of growing up, some falls can cause serious injury with great social and financial costs to children, their families and the government.

In some cases falls are fatal.

Safety messages For playgrounds and parks • Check that the playground is age appropriate for your child • Check for hazards (i.e. broken glass, rusted or broken equipment and inadequate soft surfacing). Report hazards to your local council • Pushing, shoving or crowding while on playground equipment can be dangerous • Wearing necklaces, purses, scarves or clothing with drawstrings that can be a strangulation hazard and should be avoided.

For trampolines • One person at a time • Always use safety padding on the frame and springs • Always check that the trampoline is in good condition • Always supervise children

Child fall related injuries in New Zealand • Over 10 children are hospitalised EVERY DAY • Fall related injuries are the number one cause of hospitalisation • ACC claims costs from child falls amount to $45 million per year on average.

• Make sure nothing is on, under or near the trampoline when it is in use • Children must climb on and off, rather than jumping on or off.

At home and at play • Use stair and door gates/ guards • Use safety latches on windows kids can’t reach • Use helmets and other safety gear with wheeled toys like skateboards and skates • Babies don’t need baby walkers • Top bunk beds are for kids over nine years old • Keep other furniture away from bunk beds.
