Home Safety Advice
Keeping your child safe both in and out of the home is a priority for all parents and care givers, but for some children; especially those with emerging additional needs, this can prove even more challenging. Fortunately there a number of commercially available items than can aid in this area and to support those parent's and caregivers we have designed a booklet called 'keeping our tots safe'.
The aim of this booklet is to help you as parents/caregiver in the following areas:
- Identify Risk- Highlight areas/behaviours in the home that may be of high risk.
- Give parents practical ideas/advice to reduce these risks as best as possible.
- Provide commercial product ideas that parents/families have used in the care of children with additional needs to reduce identified risk behaviours.

Assessment of safety needs
The children's OT service do not offer assessment or provision of safety in the home equipment and referral's requesting this will be unfortunately be declined.
