Hi,
I’ve just been reading a very useful report by Kelly A. Cole called “Protecting Children from Unintentional Injuries” This is some really vital information that you need to read right away to help prevent injuries in your home daycare.
Here’s an excerpt:
“Children’s surroundings contain a lot of potential hazards. Unintentional injuries are responsible for many injury deaths each year, and it is estimated that 90 percent of unintentional injuries could be avoided. Unintentional injuries are those injuries that could be avoided if necessary precautions are taken. People of all ages can sustain life-threatening unintentional injuries; however, some injuries pose greater risks for certain age groups. The five leading causes of injury death among children under age 15 are motor vehicle injuries, fires and burns, drowning, firearms and suffocation. Parents and caregivers need to know the greatest risk factors for their children and to take the appropriate steps to reduce the risk of unintentional injury.”
You can read the whole thing here: Protecting Children from Unintentional Injuries
