Child Safety in the Home
Children under the age of five years are more at risk from an accident in the home than anywhere else. Many of these accidents are preventable. Developed specifically to address this issue, our course focuses on the most common types of home accidents affecting this age group and their prevention.
This one day course is accredited by City & Guilds and there is an optional assessment available for those delegates seeking accreditation from a nationally recognised awarding body. For candidates in England and Wales, a one hour exam can be taken in Autumn or Spring each year. For those in N. Ireland, separate arrangements apply.
