It’s scary to think about but if your child’s clothes catch on fire their instinct will be to run. And that won’t help!

So, this firework season it’s important to teach children what to do. Remember, STOP, DROP, and ROLL:

STOP what you are doing.
DROP to the ground and cover your face with your hands.
ROLL over and over to put out the flames.

You can encourage children to practice putting out pretend flames by making it into a fun game in the garden.

Halloween is almost here. Have you decided what your little ones will dress up as yet? Whatever you choose please keep safety in mind.

Remember:
🎃 Halloween costumes can be highly flammable so stay well away from naked flames and other heat sources
🎃 Try to buy from a reputable store or website. Cheap costumes may not meet UK safety standards.
🎃 Look for a costume with a UKCA or CE mark and be aware that cheap costumes may carry fake safety labels.
🎃 Look for a label that says: “This garment has undergone additional safety testing for flammability”.
🎃 Masks are spooktacular but they can make it harder for children to see or hear traffic. So, consider using face paint for trick or treating and save the masks for indoors.
🎃 Help make children more visible to drivers by adding reflective tape to their costumes or accessorising with glow sticks.

When you’re stocking up on treats this Halloween please remember that some sweets can be dangerous for little ones.

Lollipops, hard sweets and mini eggs in particular can pose a serious choking risk. They’re the perfect size to completely block a child’s airway. So please pick another treat.
