Water Safety and Window Safety

The CCG East of Berkshire produced the following short video clip in 2017 and the message remains important today.  Using messages around water safety and window safety, the CCG produced the video in response to increasing concerns about the distractions of mobile phones and how the use of electronic devices may impact on risks to supervision of babies and children.

Up to 60 children drown every year in the UK however most of these deaths could have been prevented.

Babies and infants need constant supervision around water - whether this is in the bath, paddling or in a swimming pool, by ponds, rivers or lakes.  They also need supervision around open windows.
