At Home

Houses and gardens are full of potential dangers for children. Whether in the kitchen bathroom or swimming pool safety involves ensuring children learn safe behaviours and how to keep an eye on younger siblings. Children need to be able to recognise when the family pet could become aggressive, decide if food is safe to eat and know when to ask for help. Recognising when someone else needs a helping hand and knowing what to do in an emergency are vital skills that children can learn as they grow into citizens of the future.
