Home Safety
Home safety is an important part of child health. We work closely with Health Visitors, Children’s Centres and other child health professionals to make sure that Gloucestershire’s under-fives are as well protected from unnecessary accidents as possible.
We provide a wide range of services designed to make your home as safe as possible for your child.
Our staff are trained to recognize potential dangers, and to give advice on measures to take to avoid serious accidents occurring. If there’s anything that we can do on the spot, we will. We can also offer advice on the right kind of safety equipment to use and if necessary we can provide and fit it for you. We send you a copy of our survey shortly after our visit.
Home safety visits are a proven way of reducing child accident rates and of preventing the pain, anguish and suffering caused by preventable accidents in the home.
Child safety equipment
As part of the service we are able to provide and fit a wide range of child safety equipment. If required we can also fit any items that you order.
