Competition for children and young people Win one of 12 £20 vouchers to spend on CDs, DVDs, books or colouring sets! What we want you to do Please draw or paint a picture of an ordinary person doing something simple to stop an accident happening to a child. It can be an accident in the house, in the garden, on the road or somewhere like the park. Remember to write your name and age on the back of your picture. Send your completed entry in an envelope with the form below to: Picture competition, Child Accident Prevention Trust, 22-26 Farringdon Lane, London EC1R 3AJ Closing date: Friday 8 September 2006 Winners will be notified by 9 October 2006 We will choose four winners in each age group. Winning pictures may be used in a calendar to be produced by the Child Accident Prevention Trust. Some guidelines to follow When you decide what to draw or paint please follow these things: • Make sure it is something which someone you know – like your mum, dad, carer, older brother or sister – could do in an everyday situation. • We want simple things which people can do in everyday places, such as around the home, garden, street, schoolyard or the park. • Make sure that the person who is preventing the child from getting hurt isn’t doing anything dangerous themselves! • If the situation you are thinking of is something that would be best done by an ‘expert’ like a firefighter or the police or ambulance service then have another think – and choose a different everyday situation. • Think about the action that person needs to take to stop this accident happening in the first place and draw or paint them doing that action. For example, you might draw a picture of a person putting away bottles of bleach in a high place where a child can’t reach them and poison themselves. Or someone showing a child how to use the zebra crossing instead of crossing between parked cars. You can see the sort of things we are thinking of by looking at the picture on this page. There are three age groups for this competition: • Age 5-7 • Age 8-11 • Age 12-14 Please print clearly in BLOCK CAPITALS name Please tell us why you enjoyed taking part in Child Safety Week (this is not part of the competition – we just want to know what you think!)

Looking at the world through a child’s eyes is a good starting point. What hazards can you find around your home? Is that kettle so near the edge that a toddler could easily pull it on top of themselves? And what about the garden? Is that bottle of weed killer put away safely, or left out somewhere where a child could mistake it for a bottle of fizzy drink? Don’t forget that some of the things we use every day as adults can be dangerous to children. Matches and lighters left lying around can be tempting toys for young hands. And if your toddler swallows three or four of your high-dose iron tablets, they can suffer serious poisoning. As children become more independent, there are different hazards you need to look out for. Is your child really ready to walk to school alone, or cycle on the roads? And how aware are they of the risks of playing near canals or railway lines? Enter our wordsearch competition and find ten hidden hazards that can threaten a child’s safety at home or out and about. Clues may be upside down, back to front or diagonal (on the slant). Circle the words in the grid and send them, together with the form, to the address below.
