Did you know a bright coat could make a difference to your child’s safety?

Autumn may feel like ages away but before we know it the clocks will change and our children will be heading to and from school in the dark. Wearing a brighter coloured coat can help them be seen more easily by drivers as the nights draw in.

If your child or their school insists on a darker colour you can add reflective strips to increase visibility.

It is normal for children to begin noticing differences between people such as skin colour, hair colour/texture and languages from a very young age.

Research shows that the early years is an important time to build positive attitudes towards these differences, to talk about concepts of fairness and kindness, and to help children learn to respect both themselves and others who may be different from them.

Today is National Lollipop Day. But did you know that just like whole grapes the colourful treats can be a serious choking hazard?

The hard sweet can come off the stick. And it’s the perfect size and shape to completely block a small child’s airway. This happens silently and if you’re not watching you might not even notice.

Please think twice before giving a round lollipop to a young child. Flat lollies are much safer.

If you do give your child one, stay with them whilst they eat it and encourage them to sit still and take small licks instead of putting the whole thing in their mouth.
