Top home safety tips share for parents:

1. Take the time to assess each room and hallway for home safety hazards. It’s best to view things from your child’s height, so get down on yourhands and knees and have a look around.

2. The kitchen is one of the most high-risk areas of the home, housing everything from toxic cleaning products to sharp knives. Cupboards andstorage areas are also tempting ground for mini explorers, so fit child locks to cupboard doors and drawers to ensure little ones can’t get theirhands on anything dangerous. Ensure any cords from electrical equipment such as toasters and kettles are kept tucked away and are not lefthanging down temptingly for children to pull on.

3. Ensure any alcohol is stored well away from children – in addition to securing drinks cabinets, don’t forget to fit fridge locks to keep littleones away from any wine or beers chilling in the fridge.

4. Protect delicate heads from sharp edges by fitting corner cushions and soft edge guards to coffee tables, fireplace hearths and shelves.

5. Limit the risk of tottering toddlers pulling the television over onto themselves by placing your set on a low, stable piece of furniture or betterstill, fixing a plasma screen to the wall.

6. Don’t overload your plug sockets – this is a major cause of household fires. Also, keep little fingers out of sockets and prevent them fromremoving plugs by fitting socket covers and protectors.

7. Trips and falls are one of the most common injuries for children. Keep your stairs and hallway free from clutter and fit safety gates to the topand bottom to prevent any nasty falls. An easy-to-fit gate can also be removed and used elsewhere in the home to stop little ones from runninginto danger.

8. Test your smoke alarm and make a note to do so each week. If you don’t already have one, install a carbon monoxide alarm.

9. Children are irresistibly drawn to windows, but they are dangerous. Make sure furniture is standing away from opens and fit locks to stopwindows and balcony doors from being opened too wide. Blind cords pose a particular risk because they often hang at head height – keep anycords held well above head height by using a draw cord shortener or cleat.

10. Be water safety conscious. Children can drown in less than an inch of water – make sure you never turn your back on your youngster whilstthey’re in contact with water. Also, attach a cover-clamp to your toilet to keep curious kids safe and fit an inflatable tap guard to preventdelicate skins from coming into contact hot taps. Installing tap straps will secure taps in the closed position, helping to prevent scalds andflooding accidents.

11. Finding the perfect temperature for your youngster’s bath is essential. Children and babies‚ skins are much more delicate than an adult’s –what seems like a nice warm bath to you could scald a little one. A bath-temperature indicator will deliver an accurate, safe temperaturereadings.

12. Make sure all your toiletries and medicines are locked away in a cabinet, as even items such mouthwash can be harmful to little ones. Don’tforget to store bathroom cleaning products such as bleach well out of reach – not by the toilet!
