🐶 Dog Safety 🐶

Dogs and children can have lots of fun together and become great friends.

But any dog can bite if they feel scared, worried, or upset. That’s why it’s important to help keep both children and dogs safe.

Simple safety steps, close supervision, and teaching children how to behave around dogs can help prevent accidents 💛

🔋 Button Battery Safety 🔋

Button batteries are small, shiny batteries found in lots of things around the home.

If a child swallows one, it can cause very serious injuries very quickly.

Safety tips:
• Keep button batteries out of children’s reach
• Check battery covers are secure
• Get medical help straight away if you think a child has swallowed one

Small batteries can cause big harm 💛

Clear cot, clear mind 🧘

To reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), keep your baby’s cot clear of any items that could cover your baby's face and head. Such as bumpers, toys, duvets, pillows and loose bedding.

Babies need just two items in their cot:

- A firm, flat, waterproof mattress.

- Lightweight bedding.

When in doubt, the answer is clear.
