‘Devastating deaths’ – safety body issues recommendations on button batteries

Child Accident Prevention Trust, in collaboration with the Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) and the British and Irish Portable Battery Association (BIPBA), have launched a new button battery national safety campaign.
Button batteries

Button batteries are the small, round batteries you find in a growing number of toys and everyday objects like remote controls and car key fobs. They can be extremely dangerous for children if swallowed. What should you do in an emergency?

Working in Partnership

Child Safety Week is a great opportunity to establish or continue partnership working. It also offers a way of pooling budgets and resources, and reaching more parents, carers and children.
Parents

Parents play down the life-saving role they play, but the truth is, the small actions we all take day-in, day-out to prevent accidents from happening in the first place are as just as heroic as rescuing children after an accident has happened.
Scotland

Accidental injury is a major cause of death and one of the most common causes of hospital admissions for children in Scotland. Child Safety Week raises awareness of serious childhood accidents and how to prevent them.
Events showcase

Events held during previous Child Safety Weeks to give you some more ideas for your own events and activities.

Why are grapes so dangerous?

Doctors have issued a stark warning that young children can choke to death on whole grapes.
Safety advice

There can be so many risks inside and outside the home, it can be hard to keep track of them all. For instance, did you know that falls are one of the most common causes of childhood accidents?
Choking

Each day around 40 under-5s are rushed to hospital after choking on something, or swallowing something dangerous. Be particularly aware of sweet items such as mini eggs around Easter time - these are exactly the same size as a toddler's airway.

In-car safety

In-car safety can be a confusing area for parents and carers. You may find that you're not completely clear about the law, are unsure of the safest way for a child to travel, aren't using the most appropriate restraint or have badly fitting child car seats or booster seats which put a child at risk.
Burns and scalds

95% of all childhood burns and scalds happen at home. Most are caused in the day-to-day situations that many parents don’t anticipate, like children reaching for hot coffee or stepping on hair straighteners.

Parents play down the life-saving role they play, but the truth is, the small actions we all take day-in, day-out to prevent accidents from happening in the first place are as just as heroic as rescuing children after an accident has happened.
Falls

Falls are the most common cause of accidental injury to children. While most falls aren’t serious – active children often fall over – some falls can lead to death or long-term disability.
