Child Safety

It has been brought to our attention that some parents are;

•  not strapping children into their car seat  
•  leaving children unattended in the car whilst dropping off siblings

As part of our Mr Tumble 'stay safe week the children took part in 'Seat belt safety' activities. The focus for these types of activities are to help children to take responsibility and to understand how to keep themselves safe from relevant risks. (if your little one requests you put their seat belt on please do so, not only for their safety but to instill this safety message)

These statistics are quoted from  'Child alert'.

Accidents in our Cars.......

•  2 million children face injury or death every year because their parents have not fitted their car safety seat correctly.
•  Experts say that a collision of just 5mph can kill an unrestrained child in a car

The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) says:

•     babies, toddlers and very young children should never be left alone
•    Parents can be prosecuted if they leave a child unsupervised ‘in a manner likely to cause    unnecessary suffering or injury to health’.
