Whether it’s a visit to the pool,<br />
a trip to the beach or an outing<br />
to the countryside, don’t let an<br />
accident spoil the fun. Away<br />
from home and having a good<br />
time, it’s all too easy for<br />
children to get out of their<br />
depth, wander into danger or<br />
take unnecessary risks… And<br />
make sure that, at the end of a<br />
long day out, you’re not the one<br />
putting the family in danger by<br />
nodding off at the wheel. Don’t<br />
forget to stop for breaks. It’s<br />
better to arrive late than not<br />
arrive at all!<br />
