AVOIDING FALLS

Falls cause the most accidents in the home*

• Never leave babies unattended while on a raised surface
• Change baby’s nappy on the floor
• Fit safety gates to the top and bottom of the stairs
• Keep low furniture away from windows
• Fit window restrictors to stop the window opening fully
• Do not use bunk beds for children under the age of six
• Use a five point harness to secure your toddler in a pushchair or highchair
