I have two boys, 7 & 11 who love this winter weather, but it can go wrong so quickly. Please talk to your kids about the dangers. Heartbreaking news today and my thoughts are with all their families and the responding blue light teams. 💔

Buy toys safely this Christmas. Button battery compartments should be secured so children cannot access them. Button batteries are dangerous to children if swallowed. #christmassafety22

While some of us will be going for long winter walks, followed by comforting hot drinks, others may be heading out for festive parties and celebrations. If you learn you are going to be near water, be aware of the risks. Learn the Water Safety Code: ow.ly/JZrG50LZcvn

This #NationalBubbleBathDay we want to remind you that while bath seats are great for supporting a baby, they’re NOT safety aids. A baby shouldn’t be left alone in one even for a moment. They can easily wriggle or slip out, or the seat can tip over and immerse the baby in water.
