Child Safety: SafeKids Handbook

Following many requests for a 'Safekids Handbook' on our sister site safekids.co.uk, our most experienced writers have joined together to create this downloadable handbook, aimed at parents, carers, nursery workers, childcare students, nannies and childminders.

To make the Handbook affordable for all we have priced it at £2.99 and also included nine Safety Activity sheets to help teach children about safety - which normally sell for 99p. You can purchase the pack using the button at the bottom of this page.

The handbook has 58 pages packed full of common sense information and guidelines to provide you with a handy, quick reference point for those "need to know" moments.

Keeping Kids Safe Both Outdoors and In

The SafeKids Handbook covers all the areas where little ones can encounter hazards; not only that, but we've also included helpful sections on child development, exercise, nutrition, sleeping, bedwetting, potty training, learning to read and socialising.

The handbook is written in an up-beat and refreshing style, which is aimed at making sure you are not worrying unduly about your children's safety and answers questions like:

     What do the symbols on my child's toys and clothes mean?
     Why shouldn't I use a pressure fitting safety gate at the top of stairs?
     What exactly are the new child car seat regulations?
     How can I assist with my child's physical development?
