National Kidsafe Day 2018 – Tuesday the 23rd October.
The aim of National Kidsafe Day is to increase the awareness of preventable child injuries as well as the critical work of Kidsafe Australia.
‘Split Second’ campaign
The key message this National Kidsafe Day – 23 October 2018 – is that ‘child safety is no accident.’ The majority of serious injuries that can change lives in just a split second, are preventable.
A cup of hot tea or coffee left in reach of a child; backyard swimming pool gates left open; household cleaners found under the sink; handbags containing medications; a car reversing out of a driveway and accessible button batteries are some of the hazards that can change the life of a family in the blink of an eye.
