Q1: c – Young children are easily distracted and can run off without warning. It is important to hold their hand at all times when you are on the pavement or crossing the road. Q2: b – Even when you buy products with childresistant lids, you still need to keep them well out of reach and sight of young children. Remember that child-resistant does not mean child-proof. Many young children are poisoned every year by cleaning products they find kept by the toilet. Q3: false – You should never fall asleep with your baby on the sofa. You could end up suffocating or crushing them. Q4: b – If you really have to answer the door then it’s best to take the child with you. You should never leave a young child alone in the bath because they can very easily slip beneath the water and drown. They can also play with the bath tap and be badly scalded by hot water. It only takes a few seconds for a child to drown or suffer a serious burn. Q5: a – Hot drinks are the number one cause of scald injuries among young children. Every year, over 6,500 children under five are rushed to hospital because of scalds from kettles and hot drinks. Because the skin of a young child is so much thinner than an adult’s, a mug of hot drink can scald a young child 15 minutes after it has been made. Q6: c – Baby walkers are unsafe because they can easily tip over and babies can fall into fires or down stairs. Because of the weight of the walker the injury will probably be quite a nasty one. Baby walkers also allow babies to reach things that are harmful. And they don’t help babies learn to walk – in fact, they may delay a baby’s normal development. Q1: false – Buying a second-hand child car seat isn’t recommended because it may have been damaged in an accident or may have parts missing. The problem may not be obvious until your car is in an accident and the car seat doesn’t protect your child properly. Q2: c – A smoke alarm can’t protect your family from fire if it isn’t working. Test that the batteries in your smoke alarms are working once a week. Q3: false – Learning the Green Cross Code is an important part of road safety but it doesn’t mean that a child is ready to make journeys alone. You need to make sure that the child is old enough to judge the speed and distance of cars and won’t be easily distracted if unexpected things happen. You should always walk routes with children first to make sure they are aware of the hazards and ready to cope with them alone. Q4: false – Traffic-coping skills are complex and children do not have the ability to judge speed, distance and danger accurately until about the age of 11. Parks, gardens and other play areas away from traffic are the safest places for children to cycle until they have learnt to control a bike and understand cycle safety. Q5: b – A public swimming pool is the best place for a child to swim because the depth and temperature of the water are controlled, there are no hidden hazards and there will usually be trained lifeguards around if they get into trouble. But you still need to supervise young children in the water at all times – they can slip beneath the water very quickly and silently if they get into difficulties. Q6: b – If you fall asleep at the wheel, your family is twice as likely to be killed or seriously injured. That’s because, if you are asleep, you can’t react and have no chance of steering or braking to avoid the danger. 18 Photocopying is permitted for non-commercial use provided that each sheet is reproduced precisely and retains all logos
