Keeping Your Little Ones Safe
Bonfire Night Safety Tips:
- Firework Safety: Keep children well away from fireworks and bonfires. Attend organised events whenever possible for a safer experience.
- Sparklers: Avoid giving sparklers to young children—glow sticks are a safer, fun alternative.
- Dress for Safety: Wear hats and scarves to protect against sparks, and ensure children stay a safe distance from any fires or fireworks.
Diwali Safety Tips:
- Lighting Diyas: If celebrating Diwali with candles or oil lamps, place them on stable surfaces, out of reach of children.
- Firework Safety: Similar to Bonfire Night, fireworks should be handled by adults, and children should watch from a safe distance.
- Home Safety: If using sparklers or fireworks at home, keep water nearby and make sure children know to stay back.
Halloween Safety Tips:
- Costume Safety: Choose flame-resistant costumes that fit well to prevent tripping. Avoid masks that obstruct vision—opt for face paint instead.
- Trick-or-Treating: Ensure children are always supervised and carry glow sticks or wear reflective gear to stay visible in the dark.
- Treats: Check all treats before letting children eat them to avoid any risks from allergies, unsealed or homemade items.
