Small steps to safety
The key messages are:
- The steps to safety are small but by taking these steps families can make a big difference to children’s safety.
- By building small steps to safety into your everyday routine, safety habits will become second nature and not forgotten.
By supporting Child Safety Week and by working together, the thousands of early years practitioners, health professionals, road safety teams, police and fire service personnel, community organisations as well as many others who take part in Child Safety Week make a big impact on the safety of children in their community.
