Our little ones often take us by surprise. Whilst left in a highchair they might try to reach something, lean over the side and topple out or push themselves up and try to climb out. So, get into the habit of using the straps on the highchair every time you use it. #ChildSafety

The size and shape of grapes means they can completely plug a child’s airway. And the tight seal produced by the grape’s smooth surface makes them difficult to dislodge with standard first aid techniques. Learn more: capt.org.uk/why-are-grapes… #ChildSafety #ChildHealth

More than six children are killed or seriously injured on roads every day in the UK. That’s why we’re supporting #RoadSafetyWeek. Knowing how best to teach your child to stay safe around roads can be hard. But there’s a lot you can do as a parent or carer to support them.
