🤕 Not all serious head injuries show symptoms straight away.

👦🏾 After a knock to the head, it's important to keep an eye on your child, even if they seem fine at first.

👉🏼 Swipe for what to look out for.

🧠 These symptoms can indicate a serious injury to the skull or brain and should never be ignored.

🤕 Most bumps to the head are minor, but knowing what to look for could make all the difference.

❓ Have you ever heard of "raccoon eyes" or bruising behind the ears as a sign of a serious head injury?

☀️ The recent warm weather has seen more people heading to rivers, lakes, reservoirs and the coast to cool off. Tragically, several lives have been lost in UK waters in recent weeks and our thoughts are with the families affected.

🌊 Many people don't realise that even on the hottest days, open water can be surprisingly cold. Cold water shock can affect anyone, regardless of age, fitness level or swimming ability.

🛟 This Drowning Prevention Week, we're encouraging everyone to stay safe around water and understand the risks before taking a dip.

👇🏼 If you find yourself struggling:
- Float to Live
- Tilt your head back with your ears submerged.
- Relax and try to control your breathing.
- Move your hands gently to help you stay afloat.
- Once the effects of cold water shock have passed and your breathing is under control, call for help or swim to safety if you can.

👇🏼 If you see someone else in trouble:
- Don't enter the water to rescue them unless you are trained and equipped to do so.

👇🏼 Instead:
🔺 Call 999 immediately and ask for the Coastguard if at the coast, or Fire and Rescue Service if inland.
🔺 Encourage them to Float to Live.
🔺 Throw something that floats to them if available.
🔺 Stay where you are and continue reassuring them until help arrives.

🌊 Water can be a wonderful place to enjoy time with family and friends, but it deserves respect. A few moments spent thinking about water safety could save a life.

♥️ Are you prepared?

🫀 It might surprise you to know that around 80% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests in the UK happen at home . That means, if you're ever called on to give CPR, it’s most likely to be to a loved one.

♥️ We don’t say this to scare you - we say it to empower you. Learning CPR and first aid as a parent gives you the confidence to act quickly and calmly in an emergency.

🌼 Our friendly, baby and child first aid classes are designed with parents like you in mind - practical, reassuring, and fun!

♥️ Because there’s no greater peace of mind than knowing you’d know what to do when it matters most.

👧🏻 Small bodies, BIG feelings!

♥️ What might seem insignificant to us can feel like their whole world crashing down in that moment.
