The Child Accident Prevention Trust has lots of useful advice on their website to keep your children safe this summer.

And, this is a great reminder, in the hot weather, to install restrictors to your opening windows.

Get in touch to find out which window restrictor products from Jackloc will suit your family home: 01455 220616.

It’s great to open windows and balcony doors and let the fresh air in. But please remember that a small child’s head is heavy compared to their body. That means they can easily topple. Plus, they have no real understanding of danger. So,

• Keep low furniture away from open windows so that children can’t climb up and fall out – even on the ground floor
• It’s a good idea to install window catches (to limit how far they can open) and locks if you can
• If you opt for a lock keep the keys somewhere you can find them in case there’s a fire and you need to get out
