With Child Safety Week taking place from 3rd-9th June, award winning safety experts, Fred is urging families to familiarise themselves with the potential risks around the home and consider the simple changes to make their environment safer for little ones. 

 

With the risk  of injury at home being shockingly high (over 67,000 children were admitted to hospital in 2020 alone from injuries in the home) the safety experts at Fred are committed to supporting families to limit all potential dangers.  

 

 

Ready to support parents with simple, yet truly effective and vital home safety solutions whilst also promoting best practice with child safety, Fred  has shared the top 5 must-have products to keep little ones out of harm’s way.

There are many hidden dangers around the home – simple actions such as leaving a hot drink on an unattended table could lead to a serious burn; unlocked cupboards could catch little fingers and leave children at risk of finding something they shouldn’t, and open staircases could lead to a dangerous fall, However, with a few thoughtful additions to everyday life, parents can reduce the risks (and worry) significantly.
