Children in Wales, in partnership with Public Health Wales, 

has developed a new child safety toolkit for 2017

Aimed at reducing unintentional injuries in the under 5’s, this exciting new toolkit provides your organisation and practitioners with all of the resources needed to deliver a whole year of child safety information and advice to parents.

The toolkit includes attractive, printed calendars for your parents and a USB stick for your organisation. The USB resource is divided into months, with each month directly supporting the calendar messages parents will see on a daily basis.  For each month there is a team briefing, a step-by-step interactive group session plan, handouts, poster downloads, twitter feeds, text messages and face book uploads.

Issues addressed in the toolkit include nicotine poisoning, falls, scalds, blind cords and nappy sacks.  Everything has been developed for you, from the group delivery session plans to the ready to use text for your social media and everything is available in Welsh and English.

The Keep Kids Safe toolkit was developed to address the needs of practitioners, who stated; “We know we should do something, but we haven’t got the time to develop anything and we’re not sure what to do or how to address it.  We need something we can pick up and run with”.

It’s not just practitioners who have had their say, parents have also played a huge role in the development of the resources.  They have advised on details such as calendar images, language used, the practical advice they need and also how they want practitioners to support them.

Whether you are new to child safety or are already addressing the issues, the easy to use format of this toolkit provides a structured, informed approach to unintentional injury prevention.

The Keep Kids Safe toolkit will be launched on 9 November 2016 and is available from as little as £195.  However, orders received before 27 October 2016 will receive significant discounts.

Pre-launch costs: From £195    (For orders received before 27 October 2016)
