Safelincs support child safety week 2009

Safelincs are supporting Child Safety Week from 22 to 28 June by providing fire safety tips to help parents and children avoid and escape fires in the home. Child safety week is part of an education campaign started by the Child Accident Prevention Trust to find ways of preventing accidents that injure or kill children. According to the Government web site, over a thousand children were injured in accidental house fires in 2006, many of which occurred in the kitchen.

Safelincs want to show their support by offering a web site advice section. This section specialises on fire safety at home and by following these fire safety tips you can help prevent fires and deal with fires safely. They include tips about how to plan your escape and how to check your smoke alarms.

Child safety week encourages local activities that will help raise child safety awareness. Schools across the country are organising events, such as child safety activity days and road safety exercises. For more information on Child Safety week visit:http://www.capt.org.uk/csweek/default.htm
