Excerpt from the Course.

Children can injure themselves in a variety of ways both indoors and outdoors.

Some injuries result from children’s natural curiosity but more often injuries are caused by simple accidents that could have been avoided. From slipping on a wet floor to having a hand caught in a door.

Whether in the centre or home, safety is a major issue in the care of children. It may be boring to go over, but many times in our day to day lives we get negligent when it comes to making sure they are safe. Adults who have lived in an environment without children can find it difficult to relate to the fact that a baby or crawling child can find so many safety hazards that you would not have thought existed.

We have to ensure that we have all our safety issues covered. We have to remember that children are at a different eye level than we are and see things we do not see.

Hopefully this workshop will guide you where typical accidents occur and what you can do to prevent them.
