In the warmer months, it’s great to open windows and balcony doors and let the fresh air in.
But children can and, too often, do fall out of windows or from balconies and suffer serious injuries. In fact, one child under ten is admitted to hospital every day after falling from a building.

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
🪟Keep young children away from balconies unless they are supervised and keep balcony doors locked when not in use.
🪟Be sure to keep keys somewhere you can find them in case there’s a fire and you need to get out

Please share to remind others to be safe this summer.

Do you work or volunteer in the NHS?
Please complete one of our surveys!

Your response will help us to gain some insight of volunteering across our local NHS Trusts, as well as identify any barriers and opportunities. This will help determine the steps we need to take in implementing changes so the impact is positive and meaningful for staff, volunteers, and patients alike.

There's also a survey for patients and carers so we'd love to get as may responses as possible on how they feel about NHS volunteering.

Today is National Lollipop Day. But did you know that just like whole grapes the colourful treats can be a serious choking hazard?

The hard sweet, which is the perfect size and shape to completely block a small child’s airway, can come off the stick and choke a child. This happens silently and if you’re not watching you might not even notice.

Please think twice before giving a lollipop to a young child.
