Beware of button batteries around your little ones.

Are you decorating your home this Halloween? Light-up decorations such as pumpkins, cauldrons, torches and wands are fantastic for creating a spooktactular atmosphere. But many of these items are powered by button batteries which can badly hurt or kill a child if swallowed.

That’s why it’s so important when buying button battery-powered Halloween novelties that you check the battery compartment is secured with a screw or similar fastener to prevent children gaining access.

Did you know some fancy dress costumes are highly flammable so they can ignite almost instantly and burn fast?

To be extra safe look for a label that says: “This garment has undergone additional safety testing for flammability” and stay well away from fire.

The 2 year review! This contact is normally offered when your child is aged around 27 months. You should receive an appointment letter informing you about your 2 year review appointment and you should also receive 2 ages and stages questionnaires (ASQs) – normally these are a 27 month ASQ:3 and a 30 month ASQ:SE:2. Please try and fill out both of these questionnaires as close to your appointment as possible and then have them with you at your appointment so that they can be shared and discussed with the 0-19 practitioner. This contact allows you to discuss any concerns that you may have and to access information that will help to support your family’s needs.
If your child is happy to do so, we can also review your child’s growth measurements. Topics such as sleep, diet, toileting and home safety are also discussed.
If you would like any further information regarding the 2 year review contact, please call the 0-19 service on 0113 8435683.
