Kids need summer safety advice

PARENTS are being urged to protect their children over the summer holidays.

 

In the run-up to Child Safety Week, which starts on Monday, PSC is asking parents to make sure their children know how to keep safe this summer.

During the summer months, youngsters tend to spend more time away from adult company and so are more at risk of fire and other dangers, both in and out of the home.

To combat this, parents are asked to make sure that their children know what to do if a fire occurs and how to prevent potential accidents in the home such as scalds and burns.

They should also be warned of the dangers of arson and why not to make hoax 999 calls.

Community safety co-ordinator for Cambridgeshire Wendy Coleman said: “Child Safety Week, organised by the Child Accident Prevention Trust, is an ideal opportunity for parents to encourage their children to be safe in the home and when out playing.

“We are urging parents to talk to their children about the hidden dangers that lurk in the home.”
