"Every year around one million children are taken to hospital after an accident at home. The vast majority of these accidents happen to under-fives.

Our leaflet offers top tips room by room for parents and carers, and a few simple safety measures that can be used around the home to make it a safer place". Department for Education (DFE)

Sure Start Children’s Centre’s provide practical support and advice to parents and carers to help reduce the number of child accidents in the home and keep children safe.

Our Safe Buy scheme provides very affordable safety equipment for expectant families and those caring for children under five.

The equipment is new, of high quality, bought at cost price and sold to you for even less, thanks to government funding, so you can be sure you are getting good products at a good price. Contact your local centre for information.
