Keeping your children safe from harm in your own home.

There are many dangerous situations your young children could experience outside of your home but what about all the dangers inside?  If you are a first-time parent, then you will have to “Child Proof” your entire house before bringing your new-born baby home from the hospital. As a sleeping infant in a bassinet there should be very little danger to protect them from but as they grow and start to crawl around the floor you must be prepared!  Don’t leave any small objects on the floor as a young child tends to put everything they pick up in their mouths and that could potentially lead to a choking incident!

Safe handling of medication is extremely important to prevent your toddler getting hold of any pills or tablets, so Go to Tidal Training and get expert advice on how to store medication and keep it out of harm’s reach. Keep cleaning products in a locked cupboard and make sure child locks are in place on any cupboard that holds a potential danger. A stairgate at the foot of your stairs is another vital piece of safety equipment and make sure you have a safety gate in place on your landing as well.
