Child Safety week 2024
Child Safety Week is an annual campaign run by the Child Accident Prevention Trust (CAPT) to raise awareness of the risks of child accidents and how they can be prevented.
The theme for 2024 is ‘Safety. Sorted’ which aims to raise awareness of the number of children that are seriously burned and scalded each year. Many of these accidents are entirely preventable. ‘Families should feel confident that, with one small change, they can stop a serious accident. And be clear about what they need to do to keep their children safe.’

The Child Accident Prevention Trust Parent’s Pack provides bite-sized facts and safety tips on the main accident risks to children: https://capt.org.uk/resources/parents-pack/ #SafetySorted.
