Accidents in the Home


Thankfully for us 2010 was remarkably accident free in our house. However, 2009 was a completely different matter, the boy jumped off the sofa and landed on some toys which then resulted in three trips to casualty and the eventual diagnosis of broken metatarsals. I was very upset about this as you can imagine. It resulted in us having to take him to the launch of Butlins Ocean Hotel with a plaster cast on his foot. Hence the blue plastercast cover whilst he was on the beach in the picture!

Since then I've had quite a bit of childminding training and I've also got a lot more experience in what children are likely to do, so I like to think that things are a little bit more organised and safe. Nonetheless, when I got an email from Claims Helpline telling me about the launch of their new guide "The Top 25 Ways to Avoid Accidents In The Home” I thought it was worth checking out. Did you know that every year 1 million children under 18 are taken to A & E after accidents in the home? This little guide is a good read and is really worth having a look at, if only to refresh yourself. You can find it here. Start the New Year by spending a few minutes to check your house. I have.

This is a sponsored post, but I try to only write about things which I think are relevant, interesting and worthwhile.
