Press info

Accidents are one of the main causes of childhood death in the UK, so it's important that we get the word out. If you're looking for a quote, fact or case study to back up a story get in touch and we'll try to help you.

Did you know...?

  • Young children can be strangled in looped blind cords. Four toddlers have dies so far in 2010. But the solution can cost as little as 50p.
  • Each day, 12 young children are admitted to hospital with suspected poisoning. Everyday painkillers are the most common culprit.
  • A mug of coffee stays hot enough to scald a toddler 15 minutes after it's been made. 15 under fives are rushed to casualty every day after burns from kettles and hot drinks.
  • Sparklers burn at 20 times the boiling point of water. Three sparklers burning together generate the same heat as a blowtorch.
